Filed June 21, 1895.
W. C. Harris, Clerk.
He obtained a judgment for $70. Upon the trial at circuit, the court allowed an amendment to the declaration by adding a special' count for a breach of contract in refusing to accept and pay for the items mentioned in the bill of particulars, and a verdict and judgment followed upon this theory solely. The amendment was made and evidence admitted against objection and exception by counsel for defendant. The case is within the rule stated, in the case of Loranger v. Davidson, 110 Mich. 605.
Judgment reversed, and a new trial ordered.
The other Justices concurred.
