Plaintiff alleged that he was authorized by the owners to sell land, and that he agreed to divide the commissions with defendant, if the latter would find a purchaser; that defendant recovered of the owners the commissions on a sale of the land, but refused to pay plaintiff his share; defendant alleged that during the negotiations for the sale of the land, plaintiff worked in opposition to defendant, and endeavored to make a sale to other parties, and that plaintiff was thereby estopped from claiming that he was jointly interested with defendant in selling the land. Held, that the plea was irrelevant and properly stricken, there being nothing in the case to indicate that plaintiff was not entitled to find a purchaser himself. Wefel v. Stillman, 151 Ala. 249, 44 S. 203.
