This action was commenced in the district court of the fourth judicial district, in and for the county of Blaine, for the collection of $2,424.24 alleged to be due on an account for labor, goods, wares, merchandise and supplies furnished and money advanced by plaintiff to defendant.
Appellant makes four assignments of error: the first and second as to the admission of certain testimony; the third, upon the denial of defendant’s motion for a new trial; and the fourth, that the evidence is insufficient to justify the verdict of the jury.
The principal objections urged by appellant upon his first and second assignments of error are the refusal of the trial court to sustain appellant’s objections to the question asked of the respondent in what sum appellant was indebted to him and the refusal of the court to strike out the testimony as to the amount claimed to be due to him from appellant.
Appellant’s counsel contends that the proof does not show the balance due upon such account. At his request plaintiff furnished a bill of particulars setting forth the various items which go to make up the account, and this, together with the books of account of the plaintiff were introduced in the lower court. Counsel for appellant cross-examined plaintiff at length upon the various items and in response to such inquiry, plaintiff stated that the difference between such de'bits and credit was the amount of his claim.
The appellant’s counsel had not only the bill of particulars, but the account-books covering the whole transaction in court at the trial, and he had the right to cross-examine plaintiff from both to ascertain the true facts, and, if there was error in this regard, it was cured by the examination and admission of such testimony.
*283Appellant also raised the question of a variance between the pleadings and the proof. This question does not seem to have been raised in the trial court. This court in the ease of Maw v. Coast Lumber Co., 19 Ida. 396, 114 Pac. 9, said: “We are of the opinion that if the defendant found during the trial, or at the conclusion of the trial, that it had been misled by the allegations of the complaint, it should have advised the court at the time .... and the court was empowered to afford the relief .... and if the court denied the relief, saved his exception, then the defendant would have been in a position to present the same on appeal.” This question has been passed upon in several eases by this court, but in the case now before the court the question cannot be relied upon successfully.
The third assignment of error was not presented nor argued in this court.
As to the fourth assignment of error, that the evidence is insufficient to support the verdict, the contention of the appellant that defendant should not be held liable personally, cannot avail, for there is a substantial conflict in the evidence as to the contract or agreement under which operations were carried on between plaintiff and defendant, and this court has held in so many cases that, where there is substantial evidence to support the findings of the court or verdict of the jury, they will not be set aside on the ground of insufficiency of the evidence.
