JONES, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
In directing a verdict for the appellee the Judge of the District Court said:
“As I understand the law, if a person, a party to a contract, brings a suit to recover damages resulting from a breach of that contract, and if that contract is entire in its obligations, then all elements of damage arising out of any breach of that contract must be presented in that law suit. The underlying theory of it is that there must be an end to law suits and to litig-ation. The parties must be able to be set at repose sometime and that multiple claims ought not to be litigated year in and year out arising out of one contract.”
With these conclusions I am in agreement. If there was an error committed, and I do not say there was, it was in the refusal of the court to permit the appellant to amend in case 817. I repeetfully dissent.
