ENTITLED TO COMMISSION
INTERESTING LAND SALE POINT [Peh United Pbess Association.] _ WELLINGTON, February 10. An interesting reserved judgment was given to-day by Mr E. Pago, S.M., in respect of a hind agent’s commission. The Public Trustee claimed to recover £O6 10s from R. B. T. Richardson. Richardson had effected the sale of a property in Wellington terrace. He accepted a deposit, and, deducting his commission, forwarded the balance to the Public Trustee, who was administering the estate. The purchaser, however, discovered that a materia! fact had not been disclosed—namely, that the Public Works' Department had a ban on building within 33ft of the road centre. The deposit was returned, and the sale was agreed to be off. The Public Trustee, then sought to recover the commission from Richardson. Mr Page held that the agent did all that was required of him, and was entitled to retain the commission.' It was because of the failure of the plain•tilf to make good the title that the deal failed.
