75 Mo. App. 155 | Mo. Ct. App. | 1898
Plaintiff sued the defendant for a commission of $200 charged to be due him for the sale of defendant’s farm. Defendant denied any liability to plaintiff and prevailed in the trial court.
The evidence in the cause is set forth at length in plaintiff’s abstract of the record and there is some discussion of the law thought to be applicable by the respective counsel. The case however seems to turn on a single point, viz.: Did plaintiff produce a purchaser who was willing to purchase on the terms prescribed by the defendant. That he must have done so in order to entitle him to recover is not disputed. His claim is that he did so, but we think the record does not bear him out in the claim.
It is clear from what has been written that plaintiff did not produce a purchaser willing to buy on the terms submitted. And that his not being willing was the fault of plaintiff or the purchaser, the plaintiff failing in his case in either event. The finding was therefore properly made against him and the judgment will be affirmed.
