Brokers, \u00a7 92 \u2014when finding of jury as to amount due for services rendered not disturbed. Where in an action for services rendered in negotiating the sale of realty, the rendering of the services is not disputed, but only the amount agreed to be paid therefor, and there is evidence tending to corroborate plaintiff\u2019s testinmny as to the amount, the verdict will not be disturbed.\n2. Brokers, \u00a7 5*\u2014when want of license not defense in action for services in negotiating real estate transaction. Where an action is brought on a promise to pay for services rendered for negotiating a real estate transaction, the fact that plaintiff is not a licensed broker is no defense.\n3.
