1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Head, J.,
It is undoubtedly true that, under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, one who is engaged in the business or occupation of a real estate broker, and who has not obtained the license required by the statutes, may not successfully invoke the aid of the courts to recover compensation for services rendered as such broker, even where there has been a special agreement providing for the payment of the same. The reason is a plain one and has been fully and convincingly stated in the opinion of Mr. Justice Moschzisker in Luce v. Cook, 227 Pa. 224.
