JAMES J. JONES, App’lt, v. THE MAYOR, etc., Resp’t.
Contract—Additional compensation.
Alex. Thain, for app’lt; H. R. Beekman, for resp’t.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
We think that the judge would have been warranted in dismissing the complaint.
First On the ground that there was no.certificate; and
Second, That 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; he submitted the case to the jury, and we shall not disturb it under this state of facts. ,
We think he received a more favorable consideration than he was entitled to, upon the evidence.
The judgment appealed from is affirmed.
