(Superior Court of New York City, General Term.
June 27, 1890.)

Headnote

Appeal from jury term.
Action by Samuel H. Huxford against Matilda S. Stoddart.
Argued before Freedman and O’Gorman, JJ.
Alex. Thain and George William Hart, Jr., for appellant. Truax & Crandall, for respondent.

This is an action to recover for services as a real-estate broker in procuring for the defendant a purchaser of her farm and of certain personal property. Plaintiff’s claim that he was procuring cause of the sale, under an employment as broker for that purpose, appears to have been sharply contested at the trial, and it was submitted to the jury under a charge which carefully guarded all the rights of the defendant. The record discloses no error constituting, under the circumstances of the case, ground for reversal, The judgment and order should be affirmed, with costs.
