98 N.Y.S. 849 | N.Y. App. Term. | 1906
We think the evidence of the assignment was sufficient, especially as no specification of any defect in that respect was made in the motion to dismiss, when there was still an opportunity for the plaintiffs to give further evidence on the point. The same may be said of the claim that there was not sufficient evidence that the work for which $100 was awarded was done for the defendant.
There is no merit in the contention that it was error to admit evidence that the plaintiffs’ assignor went into possession on November 1st instead of October 1st, which latter, date was provided for in the contract. This is not evidence to vary a writing, but to show what was in fact done under it. It was tantamount to proving a subsequent modification, made by the acts of the parties and by mutual consent.
The judgment should be affirmed, with qosts.
