Snyder v. Fidler
Snyder v. Fidler
Opinion of the Court
The facts of the case are stated in the opinion filed’on the former appeal. 125 Iowa, 378. Therein we held that, in order to recover for commissions alleged to have been earned in finding a purchaser, the plaintiff must prove that the contract of defendant for the exchange of his stock of goods to Phillips for his land was enforceable. It appeared on the last trial that Phillips did not own the southeast quarter of section sixteen in Scott township of Poweshiek county which he. had agreed to exchange for the goods, but did own the southwest quarter. By an amendment to. the petition the insertion of the wrong description in the contract is alleged to have been by mutual mistake, and the evidence was such as to warrant this conclusion as to Phillips.
