The Symes-McNeil case is an action io which the phaintiff, a contractor, sought®to resover on a claim for an Thomppon iggregats amount of $5,000, alleged tolx; he a balance dge for the eonstruction of a bunzalow at Musicolony for Arch- eil, of Bridgeport. The ontract for the construction was 34,500, but the cost to Mr. Mc- l‘.\'ell has been $12,000, plus the sum claimed by McNeil for extras. In charging the jury Judee Barrows said hat no weight should be given to'that part of the argument which stated that Mr.. McNeil sat on his porch at Mu- sicolony and enjoved the sea breeze; from the Atlantic at the expense of Mr. Symes, as wealth or poverty of the principals was no part of the case. It was, purely an act of contract and .| whatever sums had been paid to Con- nor & Sor on the contract should be! given duc credit. Connor had been referred to in the case as a partner of Symes, but he had not been in court and ‘he might be dead, insofar as the knowledge of the court is corcerned. Tyeer was no guestion as to contract, though perhaps incomplete. There came a time when a release was given McNeil up to.a certain date, and Symes claimed he signed that re- lease ' after he was assured that_all back bills were to-be paid by ,Mec Neil.
