CLAIM FOR COMMISSION.
VERBAL AGREEMENT ALLEGED JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANT. [BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON. Saturday. A case was concluded before the Chief Justice, Sir Charles Skerretfc, today, in which William Wardrop, as assignee' in the estate of E. Vine and Company, claimed £375 commission from Leigh ftunt and L. L. Hunt, being a share of £750 commission in respect to the sale of Littlejohn's property, Lambton Quav. Plaintiff set out that there was a verbal agreement to share commission equally. This was denied by defendants. 1 His Honor said that in these cases the onus was on plaintiff, who had to establish a contract. Where a business transaction was entered into, and the parties did not choose to record the business in writing, then they took the risk of dispute on themselves. Judgment was given for the defendant.
