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.
