BEFORE Iudge Randall


Ger. 2l.-Ddaid Collins VS.. Peter H. Harg0ts-
This was action TO recover amount for bro"
kerage, alleged to be due the plaintiff for certain
services in effectiag the sale of the bark ''Ann Eli
"a" 10 one Capt Madison Of Baltimore. II appear
ed that about the 18th Of Feb. last, Madison came
on here, and after consultation with the plaintiff
who is shipping broker, called at the office Of the
the defendant. The "Ann Eliza" was not for sale
at that time; ard Madison on being informed Of
that went home, resolving to purchase
the ark"Whitmore," which was expected in port
from Havana. In the month of March, one J. b.
Smith, who does business for Madison, wrote to him
to say tnat the "Ann Eliza" could be had for
tains sum, and on that information Madison came on
here and concluded bargain through the agency Of
broker, Of the name Of Proctor. Collins on hear
ing of this sent in a claim Of I-2 per cent the
amount Of the purchase money Of the ship, and pay
ment being refused, those proceedings were resortsd
to in order to settle the question.
On the part Of the defence was set up and shown
that plaintiff was never employed, but that he v0-
lunteered his services to introduce Madison TO the
owners of the Ann Eliza" and further that after
that Interview the negotiation was broken of en-
tirely, and when renewed it was entirely through
j. Boyd that by the usage of merchants aud ship
owners, brokerage belongs to the broker who CON-
mences the negotiation; and If several apply for the
vessel, it belongs TO him who first introduced
the purchaser. ...t..
To rebut this, defendants counsel cited johnson,
vol. 30 page %, and vol 5, page 2i2, where it is
laid down by the courts, that voluntary service
cannot be made to sustain an action.
The Jury retired under charge from Judge Ran
dali, and waiting long time for their dinner they
begged the court would discharge them for the fore
man said they shosld not be able to agree, If they
tasted for forty days. His Honor thereupoa dis
charged them without verdict.
