Syllabus

<p>Contracts' — Breach—Damages—Evidence—Admissibility—- Gem eral objection.</p> <p>1. Where an objection to the admission of evidence is general, no particular ground being assigned, it is not error for the court to overrule it; and when this occurs, the ruling of the court will be sustained on appeal, if the evidence or any part of it, be proper for any purpose.</p> <p>2. In an action to recover damages for defendant’s breach of a contract for the removal of stone and dirt from certain premises, where it appeared that plaintiff, upon- defendant’s default, had engaged other persons to do the work and sought to recover from defendant the loss occasioned, it was not error to admit in evidence to prove the expenditures incurred by plaintiff in doing the work, slips or tickets given by plaintiff to the drivers of the persons whom plaintiff employed, showing the amount of material removed by each driver, and checks exchanged in payment for such tickets, or to permit the president of plaintiff company to 'state the number of tickets and the amount of the checks so used.</p>
