description: Prior History: Appeal from Superior Court, King County.Real Estate Broker – Contract – Commission – Written Instrument – Evidence – Testimony by defendant as to the length of time a bond had to run is admissible without proof of its loss, where such evidence is not offered to prove the contents of the bond, but is given as part of a conversation with the plaintiff, and for the purpose of showing defendant’s version of the contract between them for a sale of the bonded land to other parties. Where the land bonded for $16,000 is placed in a real estate broker’s hands for sale under contract that the holder of the bond should first make $500 out of any sale the broker might negotiate, the broker to have all profit in excess thereof, and a sale was negotiated for $18,000, which the purchaser subsequently refused to complete on the ground of defect of title, the broker is not entitled to a commission.
