    "head_matter": "A. L. Pulver and J. H. Kohlman, trading as Pulver-Kohlman Land Agency, Appellees, v. Harry Ainsworth, Appellant.\nGen. No. 6,263.\n(Not to he reported in full.)\nAppeal from the City Court of Moline; the Hon. George O. Dietz, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the April term, 1916.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed February 10, 1917.\nRehearing denied April 12, 1917.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by A. L. Pulver and J. H. Kohlman, trading as Pulver-Kohlman Land Agency, plaintiffs, against Harry Ainsworth, defendant, to recover commissions claimed for services rendered in arranging a contract between defendant and R. and Gf. A. Shallberg to trade and exchange certain real estate. From a judgment for plaintiffs for nine hundred arid eighty dollars, defendant appeals.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Brokers, \u00a7 93 \u2014what are questions for jury in action by members of real estate partnership individually for commissions. In an action by two plaintiffs doing business as a real estate partnership agency to recover commissions claimed for arranging a contract between the defendant and others for the exchange of defendant\u2019s real estate, the questions whether there was a misjoinder of plaintiffs and whether plaintiffs were acting in a dual capacity as agents for both parties to the contract, held to be for the jury.\n2. Brokers, \u00a7 91*\u2014when evidence sufficient to show knowledge by owner that members of real estate partnership were acting for both parties. Evidence held sufficient to sustain the finding that plaintiffs were acting as a partnership in the transaction sued on and that defendant knew they were acting both for him and for the other party to the contract involved in such transaction for the exchange of defendant\u2019s real estate, in an action to recover commissions claimed on account of such transaction.\n3. Appeal and error, \u00a7 1525*\u2014when instruction in action by brokers for commissions for exchange of real estate not reversibly erroneous. In an action to recover commissions claimed- for securing a contract for the exchange of defendant\u2019s real estate, where plaintiffs were acting for both parties to such contract, an instruction that before plaintiffs could recover they must show that defendant had knowledge that they were acting for and were to recover commissions from both parties, held to be erroneous in omitting the necessary requirement also that defendant had agreed to plaintiffs so acting in a dual capacity, but not reversibly erroneous where other instructions covered the point, and the jury could not have been misled.\n4. Instructions, \u00a7 154*\u2014when modification proper. Modification of a requested instruction, making it more clear, where it was vague as originally drawn, held to be proper.\nGeorge W. Wood, for appellant.\nDietz & Sinnett, for appellees.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number,"
