The plfinthissnit is a stone mason wh had been employed by Mr. Ham to build a stone wall under two barns.' Def had paid sore $120 or s0 on the contract but had refused to pay the balance on the plea that the work had not been performed in a proper manner and the pif brought the suit to revovel the balance. M-:. Spence sworn--Had looked at the works it was a good job Lut a large portion oi the pointing had gone; the blocking was wel done ; a few small stones weré loose ; the wall was not pointed under the silisy 'measured the wall with some care and found it nearly 165 rods. Found somé 'of the stones' which had not beon put in properly. 1tonly lacks the pointing to make it a first class. job. Would complete it for $10. On cross examination--Did not dig down to the bottom of .the wall; fomid the blocking well done, some of the smaller stones were loose. Mr. Tresldder sworn--Is a stone mason. In spected the work referred to, Mr. Spence and Mr. Ham were present at the time. Examin- ed the work, it was a good Job. The pointing was defective, There had 'been -no pointing under the sills, saw some of the stones loose Did not measure the work, left that to Mr. Spence. Mr. Jones Js a gtone mason, inspected the work, considers it well done, Measured the work, dug down to the foundation, my meas- urement made the work over 187 rods. Be. lieves that the pointing is off about 50 feet of the wall. Thinks that it: had been washed out hy rain. The pif's claim was $258 and Judgment was given for $23.
