Defendant, in an action by a broker for commissions, as owner of two semi-detached houses, gave a broker a written authority, without date, to sell the property, without describing it; defendant testified that the written authority was for the sale of the second house, and that it was given after the first house had been sold; six disinterested witnesses corroborated defendant, and the purchaser of the first house testified that she never saw the broker until after she had been negotiating with defendant personally. Held, insufficient to support a recovery of commissions for effecting a sale of the first house. Herweg v. Molitor, 110 N. Y. S. 241, 126 App. Div. 927.
