Werner v. Jewett & Langworthy
Werner v. Jewett & Langworthy
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The contention is, that the verdict is contrary to the testimony, and that the trial court failed to instruct the jury fully upon the issuable facts. The services stated in the account were rendered prior to March, 1889. A receipt in full from Jewett & Langworthy was introduced by Mrs. Werner, dated the 5th of March, 1889, and it is insisted that this receipt indicates that there was a final settlement between the parties upon that date, and therefore that Jewett & Langworthy were not entitled to recover anything on the 15th of July, 1889, when they commenced their action before the justice of the peace. The receipt may be fairly construed as referring only to the services rendered in the cases therein mentioned — none others. This action did not include the services in the account receipted.
The complaint concerning the instructions is unavailing; they were not excepted to, and no other instructions were requested. The judgment will be affirmed.
