Syllabus

<p>Principal and agent — Beal estate — Commissions—Fraud.</p> <p>Where an agent for the sale of real estate before the details of the sale are fully arranged between himself and his principal, and before the amount of his own commissions are determined, makes a sale of the land in question, and prepares a written agreement which he procures the purchaser to sign, and when his principal refuses to sign it, and repudiates the whole arrangement, signs it himself as agent and places it on record, thus annoying his principal and placing a cloud on his title, the agent is guilty of such unfaithful conduct as to deprive him of all right to compensation.</p>
