"Where the question whether a real estate broker was employed by the owner is in issue in an action for broker's commissions, and the evidence thereon is conflicting, it is error to instruct that the broker is entitled to recover, if he was the procuring cause of sale, for the commissions as claimed, as the instruction takes the question of employment from the jury. Benedict v. Pell, 74 N. Y. S. 1085, 70 App. Div. 40.
