A real estate agent employed to lease property procured a proposed lessee to sign a paper reciting the payment of money on account of a deposit to be paid on the signing of a proposed lease, but such writing did not contain any promise to take a lease, nor were any terms specified. Held, that there was no lease, nor an agreement for a lease, and therefore the agent was not entitled to commissions. Fusco v. Bullowa, 40 N. Y. S. 676, 17 Misc. 573, 75 N. Y. St. 80; Benedict v.
