Defendants agreed that if plaintiffs would procure purchasers for lands, defendants would pay them fifty cents an acre for their services. Plaintiffs procured purchasers for 3,360 acres, to be thereafter selected; but, owing to the fact that defendants did not own or control the lands as represented, the transaction failed. Held, that a verdict of $1,680 for plaintiffs was excessive, and should be reduced to $1,200, as it was not certain that all of the purchasers would have made selections and purchased the lands for which they subscribed. Peavey v. Greer (Minn. Sup. '09), 121 N. W. 875.
