Jones v. Mayor, Etc., of the City of New York.
(Common Pleas of New York City and County, General Term.
May 14,1888.)
Alex. Thain, for appellant. H. R. Beekman, for respondent.

p. 947
second, that as to the work additional compensation was claimed for, there was evidence that it was included in the original contract. He did better for the plaintiff than he deserved.

The judgment appealed from is affirmed.
