William D. Del-Wit, Appellant, v. Norwich Pharmacal Company, Respondent.
    
      Master and servant — commissions — contract of employment — when commissions not payable upon undelivered goods.
    
    
      Del-Wit v. Norwich, Pharmacal Co., 200 App. Div. 840, affirmed.
    (Argued December 5, 1922;
    decided January 9, 1923.)
    Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the second judicial department, entered December 29, 1921, modifying and affirming as modified a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a verdict directed by the court. The action was to recover commissions alleged to be due plaintiff as broker for orders for merchandise obtained by him for defendant. The question was whether commissions were payable upon undelivered goods. The Appellate Division held that “ the terms of the contract of employment clearly made plaintiff’s commissions payable when the goods should be shipped and not before. The failure to take the undelivered goods was not due to the defendant.”
    
      Thomas H. Wight and Frederic E. Mygatt for appellant.
    
      A. S. Gilbert, James S. Flanagan and Jeremiah F. Connor for respondent.
   Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
