IMPOETAITT TO EEAL ESTATE SEOKEES.





In the case of James O. Lloyd against Ed-
Av;ii-d Matthews, reported in the last volume of
the Court of Appeals—the Court of last resort
in this State—the following principles were
laid down touching the right of brokers to re¬
cover commissions for selling real estate :

1.  To entitle a real estate broker to com¬
pensation it is sufficient that a sale is effected
through his agency as its procuring cause; and
if his communications with the purchaser are
Ihe means of bringing him and the owner to¬
gether, and the sale results in consequence,
tho compensation is earned, although the
broker does not negotiate or is not present at
the sale.

2.  It is not necessaiy that the purchaser be
made known to the owner as the broker's custo¬
mer, zJAe e* so m/ac«. The owner is entitled
to know that the broker has been instrumental
in sending the purchaser; but when advised
by the latter that he has received the informa¬
tion of tiie purpose to sell and the price, it is
the owner's duty to inquire whence the infor¬
mation was derived.

3.  Where the owner has placed his property
iu the hands of two or more brokers to sell,
notice to oue of a chauge of purpose does not
affect auotlier, nor is the latter's agency re¬
voked therebv.
