Johnson v. Seidel
Johnson v. Seidel
Opinion of the Court
We fail to find error, either in the rejection of evidence, or the charge of the court. The eleventh specification alleges that the court below erred in giving the jury a binding instruction to find a verdict in favor of the defendant. This would have been error had there been anything to submit, but the learned judge was of the opinion that there was not sufficient
Judgment affirmed.

- Contract—Sale of real estate—Commissions. In an action to recover commissions for the sale of real estate, there can be no recovery where the plaintiff was not the immediate and efficient cause of effecting the sale or of bringing the purchaser and owner of the property together. That the plaintiff brought about a contract of sale which was afterwards repudiated by the prospective purchaser who notified another party who purchased, will not support such action where it does not appear that the actual purchaser assumed the previous contract.
