Turner v. Putnam

New York City Court

Decided February 24, 1891

New York City Court · decided 1891-02-24

Action by Nathan A. Turner against Henry W. Putnam to recover commissions for procuring a sale of defendant’s real estate. Prom a judgment dismissing the complaint the plaintiff appeals.

Decided 1891-02-24

Per Curiam.

¶1We have carefully read all the testimony in this case, and are satisfied plaintiff made out a prima face case for the jury. There is testimony which strongly tends to show that defendant, knowing him to be a real-estate broker, employed plaintiff to sell certain premises; that plaintiff brought the same to the attention of the purchasers, and brought them and the defendant together; and that defendant sold these parties the premises for the price he asked. Judgment reversed, and new trial ordered, with costs to abide the event.
