In an action to recover a commission on a certain real estate deal, where defendant agreed to pay plaintiff a certain commission upon consummation of the deal, a prima facie case held to be made out when plaintiff showed a contract for the sale of the land formally executed by the parties and accepted by the defendant, notwithstanding the defendant later refused to carry out the contract. 2.
