Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Loan Agent — Entitled to Compensation. Where an agent employed to effect a loan has diligently performed services under the employment, but is prevented from an attempt to complete the transaction by the refusal of his employer to accept the loan, he is entitled to recover the reasonable value of his services, even if he’ has 'not carried the matter far enough to have fully earned his commission.</p> <p>2. -- Contract Performed — Commission Earned. An agent employed “to procure a loan” has ordinarily earned his commission when he has produced a person willing and able to make the loan upon the prescribed terms, and his claim to compensation will not. be defeated by the refusal of such person to complete the transaction because it turns out that a material representation made by the employer is contrary to the fact.</p>
