Where two persons owning real estate intrust one with the sale thereof, who has it conveyed to a third person for a price agreed upon, the money being paid by the joint owner with a view to acquiring title to the property, such an arrangement is a fraud on the party owning the other moiety. Eld-ridge v. Walker, 60 I11. 230; Hughes v. Washington, 72 I11. 84.

Where land stood in the name of a third party, the real owner procured a broker to sell the land, who made false representations as to its value; the nominal owner of the land had title to a bond and mortgage given in part payment of the price. Held, that the fraud of the real owner and the broker was imputable to the person in whose name they acted. Fairchild v. McMahon, 139 N. Y. 290, 34 N. E. 779. A real estate broker who produces one ready and willing to purchase, and an executory contract of sale has been entered into between the principal and the proposed purchaser, but able to do so only by perpetrating a fraud on a third person, the principal refusing to execute, is not entitled to a commission. Zittle v. Schlesinger, 46 Neb. 244, 65 N. W. 892; Moskowitz v. Hornberger, 46 N. Y. S. 462, 20 Misc. 558.
