Defendants employed plaintiff to procure a purchaser for a ranch, and subsequently revoked the agency, and in the course of subsequent correspondence continually insisted that the ranch was not for sale, and that if defendants should sell the ranch they would not recognize any claim for commissions which plaintiff might make. Held, that the subsequent sale of the land by defendants to a purchaser with whom plaintiff had negotiated, was not a ratification of that unauthorized act so as to entitle plaintiff to commissions.
