    (Argued March 28, 1927;
    decided May 3, 1927.)
    
      Contract — promise — consideration — action to recover money promised to be paid — complaint dismissed as not stating sufficient consideration.
    
    
      Richardson v. Gregory, 219 App. Div. 211, affirmed.
    Appeal from a judgment, entered February 11, 1927, upon an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the fourth judicial department, which reversed an order of Special Term denying a motion by defendant for judgment on the pleadings and granted said motion. The action was to recover a sum of money alleged to have been promised plaintiff by defendant if certain property was sold. The question was whether the complaint as amplified by a bill of particulars stated a sufficient consideration.
    
      H. D. Bailey for appellant.
    
      George S. Van Schaick for respondent.
   Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
