Opinion

The Court, Gilpin, C. J., charged the jury,

that under the arrangement the plaintiff was unquestionably entitled to a verdict, but it could not be for more than five hundred dollars in any event, and should not be greater than the actual amount of the precise loss and injury which he' had directly sustained by reason of the failure of the defendant to comply with the agreement.

The plaintiff had a verdict for one hundred dollars, and there ended the matter.
