Gantt, J.

The evidence furnishes no ground of belief that the contract was violated on the part of the plaintiff; on the contrary, that he fulfilled the trust with fidelity; and having been turned off after the crop had been made, the jury were correct in allowing him the entire consideration agreed to be paid for his services.
