Bonds, for 1,0001. each, at *a certain price, and the
claration alleged that the defendant had refused ,
liver the use.
The agreement baying been proved, the question
as to the amount of damages. Between the time
contract and its breath, Colombia Moods bad
from 69i to 89 per mot. and the plaintireought t
corer the ',Wenner, amounting to 3451.
Mr. West, a stock-broker, was called to prove
amount of the plaiatiff's damages. He spoke of

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, OCT. 31.
moiaocal T. TINNED AND CRAMIIOO[D, MRS.
Mr. Serjeant Pets. stated this to ke'aiiii6ss63l-611gbts
by the plaintiff, a respectable auctioneer, to recover the
sum of 1691. being the amount of kis commission on
the sale of an Estate called Edwin's Hall, in Essex, of
which the defendants were trustees. The plaintiff had
been employed to sell this Estate and he bad valued it,
had advertised it, and had put It up to auction, when
the defendants, thinking the sum offered (10,9001.) in-
sufficient, had bought it in again. This happened on
the 26th of June, and on the third of Joly following,
the plaintiff received a letter from Me. Venner, directing
him to proceed no further in the sale. On the sth of
that month, the Estate was sold by &friend of Mr. Veo-
ner's to a gentleman named SinWi, for the sum of
114001. by private contract. The aefentlants bad paid
7JI. into Court. The learned Serjeant called Mr. Win-
stanley, Mr. Forrest, and Mr. Burrell, who stated it
to be the general usage among Aactionen to de
their commission under similar circumstances.
Mr. Serjelat VAINNIAN, for the defendants, o
that the usage thus attempted to be set up was
extraordinary' and if it could be maintained, would go
the length of fixing. an auctioneer upon his employer in
a kind of matrimonial alliance, not exceedingly agreea-
ble to the latter. After he'had hem once retained, be
could not be dissliargell, nor could la authority be re-
voked, unless the party paid him the whole of the cosi-
mission he would ban- been entitled to, if the Estate
had been sold, and that, too, though the sale was not
effected by him.
Mir. 6eotge, Mr. John Robins. and Mr. Bromley.
were [Lea called to disprove this usage, but is their

:cross-examination, they admitted that, if the person who
bought the Estate by private contract, had heen origi-
nally induced to do so by their exertion', they should
expect their commission, otherwise, they should not
think of.c.hargistig it.
Mr. Smith, the gentlems. who purchased, and Mr.
Murray, who negotiated the sale of the propsyy, then
proved that the contract had not taken place in come-
qnence of the ',ohne auction, Mr. Smith not having
been informed of it, until the second interview with
Mr. Merray.
Lord Chief Jostle* DILLAs left it to the Jury to say,
whether, under these circumstances, the seventy-nine
pounds paid into court, was a snibeient remuneration to
the plaintiff fur his trouble.-The Jury found a verdict
,for the defendants.
