In an action to recover brokerage for effecting a lease of real property, plaintiff did not allege that he had been employed by defendant, but alleged that defendant accepted plaintiff's services with knowledge that they had been rendered. Held, that it was proper to refuse plaintiff's request to charge that, while the owner was entitled to know that the brokers had been instrumental in sending a tenant, yet, when he knows that the tenant had received information of his intention to let and his price, the owner is bound to inquire where the tenant got the information, as such instruction presupposes that leases are never made without the intervention of brokers, and that no information could be received as to what property was to be let, except through brokers. Tinkham v. Knox, 21 N. Y. S. 954, 2 Misc. 579.
