<p>Principal and agent — Compensation of agent — Securing contract for sale of land.</p> <p>In an action to recover compensation for securing a contract for the sale of land to defendant, a verdict and judgment for plaintiff will be sustained where the evidence, although contradicted, tended to show that the defendant had agreed to pay the plaintiff a stated sum if the latter succeeded in getting the owner of a lot of land to enter into a contract with the defendant to convey to the latter the property at a certain price, and that the plaintiff had succeeded in securing such a contract, although the defendant had refused to take title to the land on account of an alleged defect in the title.</p>
