Defendant in error, plaintiff below, engaged by a written contract to do the interior finish for the banking room of defendant at Ft. Wayne, Ind. In the contract it was provided that plaintiff should complete its work by November 15, 1909. But the work was not in fact finished until May 1, 1910. Defendant failed and refused to pay the balance of the agreed price; and plaintiff brought this action upon the contract.

In its complaint plaintiff set out that the contract price was $34,000 and that $27,500 had been paid, leaving a balance of' $6,500 due and unpaid. Plaintiff also disclosed the fact in its complaint that the completion of the work was delayed a period of 166 days, namely, from November 15, 1909, to May 1, 1910, and that by the terms of the contract plaintiff was to pay defendant $25 as liquidated damages for each ' day’s delay, unless the contract time had been extended by the architect on written request of plaintiff, and that no such request had been made and no such extension had been granted.

[1, 2] Defendant has been seeking in this court to reach the question of plaintiff’s liability for the liquidated damages on account of the delay. The first attempt was by calling attention to defendant’s demurrer to the complaint. But as the complaint showed defendant’s liability for $2,350 of the contract price over and above the $4,150 which defendant says is due to it for damages, it is evident that the court committed no error in overruling the demurrer which was ad*115dressed to the complaint on the ground that it failed to state a cause of action. The other way in which defendant sought to present the question was by calling attention to a motion which had been presented to the trial court to modify the judgment. In June, 1912, judgment was entered for plaintiff in the sum of $8,758. In October, 1912, defendant moved the court to modify the judgment by deducting therefrom $4,150, being the amount claimed for liquidated damages at $25 a day for 166 days. It is evident that the finding and judgment gave plaintiff the unpaid balance of the contract price, together with interest, without the deduction demanded by defendant in its motion. No bill of exceptions containing the evidence is in the record. Nothing but the pleadings, rulings thereon, and judgment have been presented to us. Among the pleadings we find’that defendant filed an answer and also a counterclaim based upon the alleged liability of plaintjff to defendant for liquidated damages at the rate of $25 a day for the 166 days extending from November 15, 1909, to May 1, 1910, and that plaintiff in reply’to the answer and likewise in answer to the counterclaim pleaded that defendant prior to November 15, 1909, had waived the condition with respect to the time of completing the contract, and, further, that defendant had affirmatively requested plaintiff that the part of the work which was not done until after November 15, 1909, should not be undertaken and proceeded with until after November 15, 1909, and that such work so undertaken on defendant’s request could not reasonably be completed before May 1, 1910, and that on May 1, 1910, defendant accepted the work as having been fully completed in accordance with the contract. It is therefore manifest that evidence respecting defendant’s waiver and acceptance might properly have been heard under the issue made on defendant’s counterclaim, even if it were to be conceded that an objection to evidence respecting a waiver by defendant offered under plaintiff’s complaint, might have been successfully interposed. And if evidence of that character was in fact introduced, it would not have been error for the trial court to treat the complaint of plaintiff as having been amended so as to include an allegation of. waiver and acceptance. In other words, on the present state of the record, all presumptions being in favor of the correctness of the judgment of the trial court, we must presume that evidence was presented which justified a finding that defendant had waived the time condition and had accepted the work as fully completed under the contract, and consequently that the motion to modify the judgment or to compel a remittitur by plaintiff was properly overruled.

The judgment is:

Affirmed.
