Cooley v. Kinney
Cooley v. Kinney
Opinion of the Court
(after stating the facts). It is urged that' there was no testimony to sustain the verdict. We cannot concur in this view. «Plaintiff testified that the defendant agreed to give her his note for $350, and “ told me, if I stayed there, and worked, that I should have the $400; ” and that she remained upon the faith of that promise, and performed the services agreed upon. An examination of. the former record in the case shows similar testimony on her part. While the case was before submitted to the jury in reliance upon the consideration for the discharge of the mortgage, this did not prevent the recovery in this case upon the other theory.
There are many assignments of error, most of which relate to the refusal to give certain requests and to the instructions given. We find no error in them. The' theories of both plaintiff and defendant were fairly submitted to the jury. The testimony was in direct conflict as to the agreement.
One point should perhaps be mentioned. Defendant admitted that there was due plaintiff $167, and paid the money into court. The clerk shortly thereafter paid this money over to plaintiff, through her attorney. Defendant
Judgment affirmed.
