The plaintiffs’ assignors entered into a written contract for the performance of certain work for the defendant, which was completed in October, 1910, and the original contract price fully paid. Subsequently the plaintiffs’ assignors, claiming that they had performed extra labor amounting to the sum of $500, upon which they admitted the sum of $100 had been paid, brought this action, and have recovered a judgment for the sum of $400, from which the defendant appeals.
[1] The case was submitted to the jury upon a charge to which no exception was taken, and, the jury having found for the plaintiffs,
[2] Nevertheless an examination of the record satisfies us that an error has been made. Upon the trial, although the plaintiffs’ bill of particulars aggregated the sum of $500, it was shown by defendant that the plaintiffs’ assignors agreed in writing to do this extra work for the sum of $390. Deducting therefrom the sum concededly paid, a balance of but $290 was therefore due to plaintiffs.
[3] It also is undisputed that the defendant was put to an expense of $29 in raising a machine, which had been placed upon a defective foundation, made by plaintiffs’ assignors, and this amount should have been allowed her. The judgment must be modified accordingly.
Judgment reversed, and new trial granted, with costs to appellant to abide the event, unless the plaintiffs will stipulate to modify the judgment within five days after the entry of this order and notice thereof, by reducing the same to the sum of $261 and appropriate costs in the court below, in which event the judgment, as modified, is affirmed,' without costs to either party in this court.
