Syllabus

<p>Vendos and Purchaser — Contracts—Brokers—Interest in Property. A contract reciting that the owner of land agreed to sell the same to plaintiffs at $150 per acre, the plaintiffs agreeing to plat and sell the land and pay all expenses and taxes, and from the proceeds of sales pay the owner $150 per acre, is not a brokerage contract that can be forfeited by the owner, but conveys an interest in the lands.</p> <p>Receivers — Appointment—Partnership. A receiver is properly appointed at the suit of a partner where his copartner, conspiring with others, wrongfully excludes the plaintiff from participating in the partnership business.</p>
