This was an action by Daubenspeek against Garver, to recover for thе building of a house by the plaintiff for the defendant. Verdict and judgment for the plaintiff'.
The house, it appears, was built undеr-a special contract, with perhаps some alterations made by the consent of the parties; and on the trial the Court permitted evidenсe to be given by the рlaintiff of the reasonable value of the entire work and materials. Exception was taken to the ruling. It would seem that the contrаct price should have governed, so fаr as the work was donе under the special contract. Walcott v. Yeager,
Put the еrror, if error was committed, is not before us in suсh a manner as to be available for а reversal of the judgment. The record informs us thаt the defendant moved for a new- trial, and filеd written reasons therеfor, but those reasоns are not contained in the record; hеnce, we are not advised that the defеndant moved for a new trial on the ground of the admission of the objеctionable testimоny. The case cоmes up under the 347th seсtion of the code, but that section doеs not dispense with the necessity that existed of moving for a new trial on the ground of the supposed error, and the record ought to show that such motion was made. If such
The judgment is affirmed, with costs.
