Giving a broker the exclusive sale of a parcel of real estate is held not to preclude the owner from selling to one whom he had reason to believe had not been procured by the broker, in Roberts v. Harrington, 168 Wis. 217, 169 N. W. 603, annotated in 10 A.L.R. 810, on whether an ordinary brokers contract excludes right of sale by owner.
MISCELLANY
SOME STATE NOTES.
On Dec. 11 Mrs. Mary J. Rellstab, wife of United States District Court Judge John Rellstab, died at her home in Trenton. She had been an invalid for many years. Before her marriage, in 1905, she was Miss Mary Johnston Whittaker, daughter of the late George R. and Mrs. Mary Whittaker. Besides her husband, two sisters, Mrs. J. F. Clement of Philadelphia and Miss Emily Whittaker of Trenton, survive. Mrs. Rellstab was for many years active in church and charity work.
On Nov. 25 the Supreme Court suspended three lawyers charged with unprofessional conduct: Mr. William M. Rysdyk, of Jersey City, for one year; Mr. Charles Sloff, of Passaic, for one year, and Mr. Charles K. Richmond, of Passaic, for two years. In the first two cases the cause was financial misappropriation, and in the last case an endeavor to influence a juryman.
