Syllabus

<p>Contract — services — care and shill required. Where a person engages to work for another he impliedly undertakes that he has a reasonable amount of skill in the employment, and engages to use it and a reasonable amount of care, and a failure to do so will prevent him from recovering the contract price, and limit him to what the work is reasonably worth, or the employer may recoup all the damage he may sustain for the want of reasonable skill and care in executing the work.</p>
