Per Curiam.

The 800 dollars were evidently intended ‍‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‍to be liquidated damages, and were not inserted as a penalty. The defendant had ‍‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‍received the consideration of 500 dollars; and at the end of the year ‍‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‍he was‘to convey, or in lieu thereof, pay the 800 dollars. This was an alternative ‍‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‍reserved for his election. .

The verdict ought, therefore, to stand, and judgment to fee ‍‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‍rendered for the plaintiff.

Judgment for the plaintiff.
