delivered the opinion of the court.
Boyer testified that he was a curbstоne broker, that he/ saw Jones, the owner of the property, in a barber shop; that he introduced himself to Jоnes and the following conversation took plaсe: “Are you the owner of the park?” “Yes, I am.” “is it for sale?” “It is.” “I would like to get the selling of the park; I think I have got a prospective buyer.” “Who is it?” “Mr. Woodward is the man. He is cоnnected with the Film Company.” “What is the Film Company?” “It is a place to produce moving pictures; I think it is a good, idеal spot for it.” “All right, if you can sell it, go ahead and sell it.” “I will try and have Mr. Woodward out tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow morning. I should say at ten o’clock.” “All right, go aheаd.”
Plaintiff further testified that shortly afterwards, outside the barber shop, he said to Jones, “Mr. Jones, if I get this sale through, I expеct the usual commission.” That Jones replied, “That will be all right, go ahead.” '
This testimony is sufficient to justify a finding that plaintiff was еmployed to find a purchaser. '
The evidence is undisputed'that he afterwards told one O. D. Woodward of the рroperty and its suitability for use in making films and that in consequence Woodward went to see it and Jones and ultimately bought the land. This makes a case for a commission. A brokеr employed to procure a purchaser has earned, his commission when through his efforts a purchaser meets the employer and a sale is made to him.
Plаintiff in error makes the point that the court has found faсts that are inconsistent with the plaintiff’s evidence of employment and make a finding that there was an, employment impossible.; but there are no findings properly so-сalled. The judge, as judges often do, after the argu
Suсh remarks may perhaps be called an opiniоn, but are not findings of fact, properly so-called and have not the force of a special verdiсt, 38 Cyc. 1960. An example of formal findings of fact may be found in Larimer etc. Co. v. Wyatt,
Sinсe there is enough evidence in plaintiff’s favor to justify the judgment we must let it stand.
'We are not to be understood as sаying that even if the remarks of the Judge were to be regarded as findings they would not consist with the judgment; neither have we оverlooked the fact that these remarks are called findings in the bill of exceptions, but that does not make them so.
Supersedeas denied and judgment affirmed.
