    "head_matter": "George E. Sadler, Appellee, v. Jacob P. Schnelbacher, Appellant.\nGen. No. 6,287.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Peoria county; the Hon. Clyde E. Stone, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the April term, 1916.\nReversed with finding of facts.\nOpinion filed August 10, 1916.\nRehearing denied October 5, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by George E. Sadler, plaintiff, against Jacob P. Schnelbacher, defendant, to recover a commission as a real estate broker for effecting a lease of defendant\u2019s premises. From a judgment for plaintiff for $7,500, defendant appeals.\nPlaintiff occupied an office with another real estate broker. They were not partners, but were frequently on opposite sides of deals. Plaintiff, learning from his office associate that the latter had a client wanting a business location, went to defendant, who showed plaintiff over his building and told plaintiff to have the party come there and he could do business. Plaintiff called again for more information which the party, through plaintiff\u2019s associate, wanted, and thereafter the party came to the city and was introduced by plaintiff to defendant, and at a meeting in the office of defendant\u2019s attorney a proposition for a lease was made by said attorney and at first accepted, whereupon plaintiff sug-gusted that defendant pay him a commission. Plaintiff\u2019s testimony was conflicting as to whether defendant then refused to pay any commission or to pay the amount asked by plaintiff. He later refused to pay any. The lease was abandoned at that time because of a mistake in figures, and was later concluded elsewhere as a result of negotiations between the parties and said attorney in which plaintiff had no part.\nAbstract of the Decision.\nBrokers, \u00a7 88 \u2014when evidence insufficient to show contract for sale of property on commission. In an action by a real estate broker against the owner of a building to recover a commission on a leasing of the building, evidence held, insufficient to show any contract, express or implied, between plaintiff and defendant in relation to any service to be rendered by plaintiff for defendant in relation to the renting of defendant\u2019s property or by defendant to pay plaintiff for any services rendered.\nWilliam Jack and Winslow Evans, for appellant.\nGeorge W. Sprenger, for appellee; Weil & Bartley, of counsel.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
