WiNsuow, J.

The contract to move the buildings was entire, and the plaintiff could ‍‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‍not recover upon it without fully completing it, unless full performance was excused or prevented by the defendant. Whether the defendant did prevent the plaintiff ‍‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‍from completing the contract was the question litigated, and upon that question the evidence was conflicting. No errors in the rulings upon testimony are claimed. The ‍‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‍jury found, upon sufficient evidence, that the defendant did prevent the full performance of the contract.

There are no exceptions to the charge, save a general ‍‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‍exception to the entire charge. This is of no avail when any part of the charge is correct, and there can be no doubt as ‍‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‍to the correctness of the greater part of the charge.

By the Court.— Judgment affirmed.
