Syllabus

<p>Contracts (151) — Performance—Delay—Waiver. Findings upon the conflicting statements of the parties to a building contract that a delay was waived on account of a strike, are supported where .plaintiff’s evidence was corroborated by one of defendant’s witnesses and by the fact that defendant expressed sympathy with the strike.</p> <p>Same (159) — Rights on Partial Performance. Where the parties to a building contract agreed that another contractor should remedy defects in placing the windows, at the expense of the contractor, the amount paid therefor fixes the limits of the contractor’s liability for his failure of performance.</p> <p>Costs (80) — On Appeal — Unnecessary Matter — Ímproper Abstract. Where the transcript consisted of but 166 pages, costs will not be allowed for an abstract of over 100 pages made up almost exclusively of question and answer, as the same is not a substantial compliance with the rule.</p>
