Maltais v. Foss
Supreme Court of New Hampshire
Maltais v. Foss, 44 A. 599 (N.H. 1895)
68 N.H. 404
Clark, Parsons
Maltais v. Foss
Opinion of the Court
The only question is whether there was error in the denial of the motion for a nonsuit. The plaintiff’s evidence tended to show that “the defendant had the lumber and bark for the cutting of which suit was brought.” From this, the jury could properly infer that the defendant accepted and took the benefit of the plaintiff’s labor at the agreed price; or at its value, if, as the plaintiff in his brief asserts, there was a quantum meruit count.
