Syllabus

<p>Trial — Findings—Necessity—Dismissal and Nonsuit. Upon trial of an action at law before the court, findings of fact are not necessary to support a judgment of nonsuit, granted for failure of plaintiff to prove sufficient facts, under Bal. Code, § 5029, requiring findings by the court on an issue of fact; since the court merely decided the insufficiency of the evidence as a matter of law.</p> <p>Frauds, Statute or — Brokers—Employment—Memorandum. An agreement with brokers whereby the owner of premises offered to take a fixed sum for his property, the brokers to have all that they could get over that sum, is within the statute of frauds, Laws 1905, p. 110, requiring agreements employing an agent to sell real estate for compensation to be in writing.</p>
