In an action by a real estate broker to recover commissions it appeared that he furnished the names of the members of a purchasing syndicate to the owner, but the syndicate was not fully formed, and all the purchasers were not then known, and it did not appear what proportion of the price each was to pay, and the owner sold to others before the syndicate was fully formed. Held, that the broker could not recover commissions, as he did not produce a person ready and willing to purchase. Gerding v. Haskin, 141 N. Y. 514, 36 N. E. 601.
