1Opinion of the CourtMarble, J.
“Insurance brokers are those who effect insurance for their employers and act as middlemen between the insurer and insured.” 1 Rapalje & Lawrence’s Law Dictionary, 154. See, also, Davis v. Insurance Co., 67 N. H. 335.
"The insurance broker is ordinarily employed by the person seeking the insurance, that is by the insured, and when so employed is to be distinguished from the ordinary insurance agent, who is commissioned and employed by the insurance company to solicit and write insurance by and in the company. The former is the agent of the insured; the latter is the agent of the insurers.
