In an action by a real estate broker, the complaint was made to set forth two causes of action; the first alleged that the contract between the parties provided for a commission for leasing and a commission for selling the property in question, and the fact of a lease procured through plaintiff; while the second merely alleged that the tenant thus procured also took and subsequently exercised an option to buy. Held, that as all the allegations might be taken together as stating only one cause of action for two commissions, the motion to dismiss the second cause of action was properly denied. Downey v.
