<p>Abstract of the Decision.</p> <p>1. Brokers, § 90*—when evidence shows right to compensation. In an action by brokers for commissions for procuring a purchaser for real estate, evidence held to show that the plaintiffs were verbally authorized to sell the land, that they found a purchaser ready, willing and able to buy, and that the defendant refused to consummate the sale, wherefore the plaintiffs were entitled to commissions.</p> <p>2. Brokers, § 47*—-what authority necessary to sell land. A real estate agent who procures a purchaser ready, willing and able to buy is entitled to commissions when the principal refuses to sell, even though such agent is not authorized in writing to sell and his acts are not ratified in writing.</p>
