A complaint, in an action by a broker for commissions for procuring a purchaser for real estate, alleged that he procured a tenant for defendant for certain premises; that a lease for a specific number of years was executed, which reserved to the tenant the privilege of purchasing the premises for a specified sum at any time within a specified period; that before the expiration of the period he induced the tenant to consummate the purchase, and that he demanded as his commissions a specified sum, which defendant refused to pay, was bad for failure to allege the employment of the broker to effect a sale.
