Noyes v. Caperton

Williams, Judge :

This action is to recover commissions on the price of a house and lot in the City of Charleston, which plaintiff claims to have been instrumental in selling for defendant. Suit was first brought before a justice of the peace who rendered judgment for $142.50 in favor of plaintiff. Defendant appealed to the intermediate court of Kanawha county where the case was tried by a jury, and a verdict rendered for defendant. Plaintiff then petitioned the circuit court of Kanawha county for a writ of error which was denied. He then obtained a writ of error from this Court.
