<p>A -promise to pay, made by one to whom a bill for services is presented, is prima, fade evidence that the services were 'rendered and that- the amount charged therefor was satisfactory.</p>

Decided 1895-10-15

Fitzsimons, J.

¶1The evidence shows that the defendant received plaintiff’s bill for services, rendered and promised to pay the same when able. That surely establishes plaintiff’s claim that the services in question were rendered and the *237value thereof was satisfactory to defendant, and, inviewof the failure to introduce evidence in her own behalf, justified the trial judge in directing a verdict against her.

¶2The judgment must be affirmed, with costs.

¶3McCarthy, J., concurs.

¶4■ Judgment affirmed, with costs.
