Girón, Appellant, v. Heirs of Serralles, Appellees.
    District Court of Ponce.
    No. 2582.
    Decided December 21, 1922.
    The questions raised in this case go to the weighing of the evidence.
    We have examined the record in the light of the reason-ings contained in the briefs and we find no such manifest-error in the findings or judgment of the court below as to require a reversal.
    
      We are persuaded that the question as to compensation for services rendered would involve at most a tacit obligation and that the fixing of the amount to be paid depended to a great extent, if not entirely, upon the will of the defendants.
    However, we do not agree with the allowance of costs, including, as it does, attorney’s fees. There seems to be no very satisfactory reason why the plaintiff should- be so mulcted. The judgment must be modified accordingly and affirmed.
   Mr. Justice HutchisoN

delivered the opinion of the court.
