opinion that the defendant became liable for the full commission if he in fact continued to recognize the plaintiff as his agent and signed the contract with Huey, knowing at the time that the listing contract had been in some respects departed from; provided that by his words or actions he manifested the intention to become bound for the full amount. See Red River Valley Land Co. v. Hutchinson, 41 N. D. 193, 170 N. W. 317; S. E. Crowley Co. v. Myers, 69 N. J. Law, 245, 55 Atl. 305.

The case is now again presented to this court, on this fourth appeal, by an appeal from a judgment in plaintiff’s favor for $1,200. The majority of the members of this court are now agreed that the judgment should be affirmed, a conclusion which harmonizes with the result arrived at by
