Syllabus

<p>Measure of damages—/or work and labor, as affected by subsequent agreement. Where a person employed to lay the brick in a building at a specified price per thousand, according to measurement, is stopped by the employer before completion, and it is afterwards agreed that he shall proceed with the work, and be paid a reasonable compensation without regard to the price fixed by the original contract, and he to waive all claim for damages, the question whether the openings in the walls shall be included in the measurement becomes immaterial, as the contractor will be entitled to recover what his work is reasonably worth.</p>
