Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · decided 1874-11-12
Contract to recover for services rendered to the defendant by the plaintiff, as a book-keeper, from September, 1871, to February, 1872. There was a count upon a special contract, and one upon a quantum meruit. At the trial in the Superior Court, before Rockwell, J., it appeared that the defendant was a wholesale and retail trader in flour, grain and groceries, in East Cambridge.
Decided 1874-11-12
¶1The only objection which appears by the bill of exceptions to have been made at the trial was to the qualifications of the witness as an expert, (assuming the matter inquired of to be a subject on which the opinions of witnesses were admissible,) and his testimony on the preliminary examination warranted the presiding judge in deciding that he was so qualified. It does not appear that any of the questions admitted were inapplicable to the facts before the jury.
¶2Exceptions overruled.
