Heard in this court at the October term, 1914.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed January 6, 1915.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by S. A. Wright and E. P. Fleming, partners . as Wright & Fleming, against Elsie Olson to recover commissions on the sale of real estate.\nPlaintiffs claimed that the defendant agreed to pay a commission of one dollar per acre if they would sell her farm of one hundred and sixty acres at two hundred dollars an acre. Defendant denied that she had authorized them. The evidence showed that one of the plaintiffs spent much time in an effort to sell the farm, that he procured the purchaser who purchased at the agreed price.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Brokers, \u00a7 93 \u2014when finding of fury on conflicting evidence not disturbed. In an action to recover commissions on the sale of land, where the evidence is directly conflicting as to whether or not plaintiff was authorized to make the sale, defendant also claiming that she supposed that he was acting as the purchaser\u2019s agent, hut the evidence showing that he was not acting for the purchaser, the finding of the jury will not he disturbed.\n2. Brokers, \u00a7 85*\u2014when testimony as to listing of land for sale admissible in action for commissions. In an action by a real estate broker to recover commissions on a sale of land alleged to have been made by agreement with the owner, evidence of plaintiff that he had listed the land on his books is admissible.\n3. Appear and error, \u00a7 1533*\u2014when use of ordinary term in instruction not error. In an action to recover commissions on a sale of real estate claimed to have been made by plaintiff for defendant, it is not error, in an instruction to use the word \u201clisted\u201d in the same sense that it had been frequently used in the testimony and as it is understood in ordinary conversation.\nThere was a verdict and judgment for plaintiffs in the justice court for the full amount claimed, and from the judgment defendant appealed to the Circuit Court and, on affirmance by that court, takes this appeal.\nJohn E. Erwin, for appellant.\nHarry Edwards and C. F. Preston, for appellees.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
