Syllabus

<p>Contract — Commissions of broker — Construction of written agreement— Province of court.</p> <p>Where by the request of a broker the arrangement, between him and the vendor of certain rails, for commissions on a sale affected by said broker, is reduced to writing, the construction of such writing is a question for the court and not for the jury; and, where this writing provides that the commissions should become due and payable when the goods are “shipped, accepted and paid for” such conditions are precedent to the right of the plaintiff to demand the commission or compensation for bringing about the sale.</p>
