Mayer v. Rhoads
Mayer v. Rhoads
Opinion of the Court
There are three short extracts from the charge of the court assigned as error. Whether we consider the charge as a whole, or the isolated and brief sentences referred to in the assignments, it is free from error. The proposition that the plaintiff is entitled to recover commissions as a broker from a man who never employed him, nor authorized him to sell the tobacco, cannot be sustained either upon reason or authority. It certainly is not supported by Smith v. Milligan, 43 Pa. 107, or Keys v. Johnson, 68 Pa. 42. In neither case is there any indication of the right of a broker to recover without a pre
Judgment affirmed.

- The fact that a broker had previously made a sale of goods for the defendant and had been paid by the latter a commission therefor, will not entitle him to recover commissions on a subsequent sale, effected through services on his part rendered without request or employment by the defendant.
