An appeal to Supreme court will be made in the Corbett-Dorsey case disposed of here last week in Superior court, according to Judge B.T. Falls, attorney for Mrs. W.C. Corbett. The case was that in which Mr. Dorsey, local real estate dealer, asked of the court agent’s fee for the sale of the Court view hotel property by Mrs. Corbett to R.E. Campbell. The fee, or commission was 5 per cent but the jury returned a verdict that appeared to be on the compromise basis, or only half of the 5 per cent commission.
This case attracted much attention in Superior court and its disposition will be watched with interest in the Supreme court this fall.
