Syllabus

<p>Brokers — Compensation — Contract — Evidence — Sufficiency. Findings that a broker had completed a contract of sale which was surrendered upon the owner’s agreeing to pay the customer $100 in order to make a more favorable sale, will not be disturbed, where the evidence was conflicting and the owner’s denial was contradicted by his own statements and by a written contract of sale signed by him.</p> <p>Same. Although a broker, who made a sale at the list price, which was surrendered by consent in order to make a more favorable sale, is not entitled to double commissions unless there is a specific agreement therefor, findings that such an agreement was made will not be disturbed on appeal where the evidence was conflicting, and the evidence to the contrary was shown to rest upon a faulty memory after a lapse of two years and eight months.</p>
