New York Court of Appeals
James O. Lloyd, Respondents v. Edward Matthews, Appellant
September 5, 187251 N.Y. 124
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff brokers, holding that the evidence showed they were employed by the defendant and that their agency was the procuring cause of the sale, entitling them to commission even though they were not present at the closing and the seller need not know the buyer was the broker's customer.
