dants to supply all plan, &c., and to superin-
tend the erection of the works for a bulk

the plaintiff was entitled to his prreentaire in respasit of the
"additional" works he bad superintended, as they bad not
been included in the estimates furnished to the defendants
when the contract was made between the parties. It was
admitted that a large portion of the works came properly
witt.ia the meaning of the term " extras; " and with re-
spect to them the plaintiff made no demand. The jury
