The defendant having made a motion to dismiss the complaint herein, at the close of the plaintiff’s case, on the ground that the facts stated did not constitute a cause of action and the justice having decided the motion adversely to the defend*816ant, it was stipulated that the opposing testimony given by the defendant should be considered as withdrawn and that judgment might be rendered against the defendant, subject to a renewal of the motion to dismiss on the ground mentioned. “ The facts stated ” were the employment by the defendant to obtain a purchaser of his property at $35,000, a statement' by the defendant, when informed a purchaser had been found, that he would sell, would meet the plaintiff and purchaser at the place and hour appointed for the completion of the bargain and that the plaintiff might consider the deal closed, the nonappearance of the defendant and the production then and there, nevertheless, of his ready, able and willing purchaser.
It is the law that the seller is entitled to know who the proposed purchaser was and with whom he was expected to enter into contract. Gerding v. Haskin, 141 N. Y. 514, 519. It was competent for him, however, to relinquish this right, as he did, when he waived the production or, so to say, tending of the intending purchaser and the consequent information. Duclos v. Cunningham, 102 N. Y. 678.
McAdam, P. J., and Scott, J., concur.
Judgment affirmed, with costs.
