25 Pa. 337 | Pa. | 1855
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
A person employed as the secretary of a private corporation, at a fixed rate of compensation, cannot demand extra pay for services in that capacity, which were not anticipated at the time of his appointment, or which were not enumerated in the charter or by-laws. The fair construction of his contract is, that he will do whatever his employers may have occasion to employ a secretary about.
' Judgment affirmed.
