¶1The plaintiff, an engineer,, claimed that he was hired by the defendant to perform services as an engineer at a salary of one hundred dollars, out of which he should pay twenty dollars per month to an assistant.
¶2The defendant claimed that he should have hired under his agreement two assistants for forty dollars per month, leaving bim a balance of sixty dollars for his services.
¶3This issue of fact was submitted to the jury and they decided in favor of the plaintiff, which finding we find is amply sustained by the testimony.
¶4The plaintiff’s testimony showed that he was not paid for a month’s services, and that he hired an extra boy to whom he *49paid eighty-one dollars, but he only- claimed one hundred and forty-five dollars, for which a verdict was rendered in his favor.
¶5Although the complaint was for services rendered, and the testimony showed that for that claim the plaintiff was only entitled to eighty dollars, yet the testimony was admitted without objection, showing that plaintiff had expended eighty-one dollars for the extra boy’s hire.
¶6The trial justice had a right, therefore, to amend the pleadings so as to conform to the proof, and he committed no error in so doing.
¶7The entire evidence taken together shows the usual contradictions ; the plaintiff contradicting the defendant and vice versa.
¶8It was, therefore, the duty of the jury to select the side which they credited.
¶9They did so by believing the plaintiff’s evidence and decided accordingly.
¶10We find no error in the admission or exclusion of evidence, and the judgment must be affirmed, with costs.
¶11Ehrlich, Ch. J., and Newburger, J., concur.
¶12Judgment affirmed, with costs.
