In an action upon an agreement to pay a broker a commission for obtaining a loan, it appeared that a loan for a less amount was obtained, and at first accepted, but subsequently declined by the principal as being insufficient for his purposes. Held, that the services had been rendered and the commission was due, in the absence of any usage among New York brokers to receive no compensation unless the matter was consummated. Van Lieu v. Byrnes, 1 Hilton (N. Y.), 133.
