    Padgett v. Silver Lake Park Corporation et al.
    
    Decided July 31, 1929.

   Broyles, C. J.

1. “Under the act of 1925 (Ga. L. 1925, p. 325, as amended by the act of 1927, Ga. L. 1927, p. 307), a person acting as real-estate broker in the County of Eulton, who has failed to obtain a license from the Georgia real-estate commission, as required by that act, is precluded by such failure from recovering compensation under a contract for services rendered in procuring a sale of real estate.”

2. The above-stated ruling is the headnote of the decision of the Supreme Court in this case, rendered in answer to a question of law certified by this court (168 Ga. 759, 149 S. E. 180); and under that ruling and the facts of the instant case, the court properly awarded a nonsuit and dismissed the case.

Judgment affirmed.

Lulce and Bloodworth, JJ., eonour.
