SUIT ARISING on THE SALE OF HOUSE.

March last the defendant agreed TO give Mr. Kinshmer
two hundred dollars IL he would effect sale OF house
in Thirty third street. Mt Thousand five hundre
dollars. The house belonged 10 the defendant. In pur
of this agreement, Mr. Kinshimer advertised the
property for sale in the HERALD put up notice the
premises and after wards sent various persons to
anime them, with a view Of selling the A Mr..
Cram testified that in passing the premises in question
he paper posted the house, but that he did not
know its contents, whether Mr.. Kinshimsr had
any agency in putting 1t there that he went
10 the house, and seeing Mr.. Byrne, the defendant
ascertaned that the house and lot for sale Mr.
Cram after brief negotiation with Byrna, finally pur
chased for thousand five hundred dollars. After
the sale Byrne called upon Mr.. knshimer and told him
he had rented the premises to Mr. Cram and desired him
to draw up lease to be executed by himself and Mr.
Cram. This done by Kinshmer, but the paper
executed The knowledge Of the sale by Byrne to
Cram first came to the knowledge Of Mr. Kinshimcr
several months afterwards and considering himself
titled TO two hundred dollars upon his
mtnt with the defendant, this suit was brought. The
paint having rested his upon this evidence,
sci for defendant moved the court for judgment OF
suit the ground that the plaintiff had rot proved that
Kinshmer had sold the premises; that an actual sale
THoMrsoS 1.-THE plaintiff has failed to show that
Cram induced to make application to Byrne for the
purchase and sale Of these premises, either by inter
view with kinshimer or BY seeing the notice published
in the HuIp nor Goes Il appear that he attracted
TO the premises by the notice posted thereon by Mr..
kiushmer. To entie tho plaintiff to recover in the
ticn he should have clearly established one OF these
several propositions do not think that by the terms
OF the agreement Mr.. Kinshmer bound to effect
actual sale himself II Mr. Cram had been induced TO
go the premises by any act Of Knsn'er then a sale
by the defendant with knowledge OF this fact would
have the effect IL II had been accomplished by
Kinshmer. Mr.. kinshimer had taken the initiatory
steps towards final contamination OF the agreement
Ee had performed acts in relation to it amply sufficient

crcnt rule would be to leave broker wholly subject TO
the integrity caprice Of his employer. II the position
by defendants counsel be tenable then, TO
he,e himself from liability all that Byrne had TO do
to d mis- his broker just az himself AMI the purchaser

Nevertheless In this case, for the above referred
to, the motion fer a non-sut must be granted.
