Syllabus

<p>Master and servant— Contract — Discharge of servant— Charge of the court.</p> <p>In an action by a servant against his master after an alleged wrongful discharge, to recover wages due to the end of the term of employment, where the defendant alleges a mutual agreement to terminate the contract, the court commits no error in charging that if there was a mutual agreement to terminate the contract, plaintiff could only recover his wages to the date when he slopped working, but that if he was wrongfully discharged, and was prevented by defendant from performing his contract and was ready and willing to do the work, he could recover what he would have earned under the contract had he been permitted to perform the services thereunder.</p>
