In an action by a real estate broker to recover commissions earned, on the ground that the purchaser refuses to take the property on account of false representations of the length of the lot, a verdict for defendant is clearly right, where it appears that the purchaser knew the exact length of the lot before he agreed to purchase it. Sloman v. Bodwell, 24 Neb. 790, 40 N. W. 321; Bruce v. Meserve, 117 N. E. 683, - Mass. Sup. - . See also Secs. 183, 451.

A broker familiar with a lot was employed to procure a purchaser. The owner stated to the broker that the lot had a frontage of 168 feet on the street; a purchaser procured by the broker refused to complete the purchase because the frontage was only 165 feet. Held, that the broker was not entitled to commissions, since he was employed to procure a purchaser for the lot as it was, and the fact that the owner told the proposed purchaser during the negotiations that the frontage was 168 feet, did not affect the contract of brokerage. Keough v. Meyer, I11 N. Y. S. 1,127 App. Div. 273. See also Sec. 451.
