These are two separate appeals emanating from the same judgment. We shall first consider the case of Courembis v. Morfessis. This suit was filed by Morfessis for a balance of $640 due on an account stated for labor and materials furnished. A general denial and counterclaim were filed by Courembis and his wife, alleging that the work was not completed, did not meet the specifications agreed upon, and that certain articles of furniture provided for in the contract were not delivered. Trial by the court, lasting some three days, resulted in a finding for Morfessis on the main claim, and also a judgment in his favor on the counterclaim.

An error is alleged with regard to the entry of judgment but no statement of proceedings and evidence was furnished this court by appellant, and we have no right or power to speculate as to what happened when the entry was made by the trial court.
