Plaintiff alleged a verbal contract by which he was to obtain for defendant the title of co-owners of a mining claim for not more than a certain sum, his commission to be the difference between that sum and the price asked. Defendant alleged that unless a certain sale of property which he was negotiating was effected, plaintiff was to have nothing for his services, and that the sale was not effected. Held, that evidence of what a witness, who was in no way connected with defendant and was not present at the conversation during which the contract was made, stated to plaintiff about his understanding with defendant before plaintiff went to see defendant, was irrelevant. Huntoon v. Lloyd, 8 Mont. 283.
