Syllabus

<p>Contracts of decedents — Extras—Mere expressions not a contract.</p> <p>There is no more fruitful source of dispute than claims for extras, and where they are superadded to claims upon an express contract for services of the same or similar kind they should be made out clearly and explicitly before they are allowed. In the ease at bar there was no dispute as to the original contract. The plaintiff claimed for extra compensation for nursing decedent in addition to the compensation for services for general housework, upon expressions and indications of belief by decedent that plaintiff was not sufficiently paid under her contract. These did not constitute a new contract.</p>
