Same — Contract Between Agents to Divide Commission — Maturity. A real-estate agent employed another to assist him in negotiating a trade, agreeing in writing to divide a commission of $5000, to be paid by the principal, upon payment by the principal. The agent settled with the principal for a sum less than $5000, which the principal paid. Held, the contract impliedly warranted that the principal would pay the sum of $5000 as a commission and that the contract matured when the principal settled with his agent.</p>
