Mr. Justice Nash

delivered the opinion of the court.

*599This action was brought for an accounting ‍‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‍between Timothy P. Denny (now deceased) and appellant Hollon Parker, .as his agent, respecting the properties entrusted to the .agent, and to compel the reconveyance of real estate ‍‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‍of the pi’ineipal placed in the name of the agent.

The matters set forth in Denny’s pleadings were largely ■controverted, and an affirmative version of the agency was set ‍‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‍forth in Parker’s answer, with a prayer for relief therein.

Without entering into a full discussion of this case at the present time, it is sufficient to say that ‍‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‍we are agreed that the judgment of the court below should be affirmed, except in this: There should have been allowed the defendant the sum of $500, claimed ‍‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‍as services, which is admitted in the pleadings.
