Aeeirmed
This was a suit brought by the heirs of Hamilton R. Gamble against Chas. Gibson to recover the balance of the proceeds of certain sales of real estate made by Gibson under a power of attorney from plaintiffs. The contest ■ in the case related to a claim made by defendant for compensation for services in laying off and subdividing the property and selling portions of it, and in procuring the opening of a thoroughfare and the extension of a line of street cars from the city to the property, and in otherwise handling it in such a manner as greatly to enhance its value. The case was referred to a referee, who allowed defendant for his services $3,313.80, instead of $16,600 as claimed by defendant. Upon the incoming of the referee’s report, judgment was rendered for plaintiff for the amount found to be in defendant’s hands less the allowance made by the referee. Erom this judgment defendant appealed to the St. Louis court of appeals, where the judgment was affirmed, and from this latter judgment defendant appealed to this court.
