After referring to the testimony, Judge Thomas in conclusion, said to the jury: “Therefore, I charge you that if you believe the evidence of Cull, and also of Smith and Chafin, you ought to find a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of five hundred dollars, with interest from the time the services were fully completed and ended.”
