Syllabus
<p>Appeal — Review—Findings—Exceptions. One general exception to specific findings of fact and conclusion is not sufficient to secure a review of the evidence.</p> <p>Contracts — Consideration—Forbearance. Forbearance of a threatened suit to enjoin certain work, is a sufficient consideration for a promise to pay all damages resulting from the work, where the claim was disputed and doubtful, although there was no liability for the damages.</p> <p>Appeal — Review—Pleadings—Waiver oe Error. Where issues were made up without demurrer to the complaint, and the facts proved warranted the findings, a demurrer ore tenus at the trial is unavailing to secure a reversal for insufficiency of the complaint.</p>
