¶1This is an appeal from a judgment entered herein on a verdict rendered by a jury, and from the order denying a motion for a new trial made on the judge’s minutes.
¶2This action was brought by plaintiff as assignee of a-claim of one Abraham Strauss against the defendant for work, labor and services in printing 6,000 catalogues.
¶3The facts appear to be that the defendant Fogel employed one Fragner to do a job of printing work; that Fragner after doing about one fourth part of the work, was foreclosed so that he could not complete the job; that thereupon the defendant employed Strauss to take the work so far as done and complete the job; that after Strauss had finished the work at another place, the defendant, instead of paying Strauss therefor, conceived the idea that he could make a better settlement with a former partner of Strauss (one Michael) and gave him a check for $260 in full settlement of work worth $496, and then compelled Michael, after getting a receipt, to give the $260 to Fragner.
¶4The payment to Michael or to Fragner by the defendant was wholly without the consent of Strauss and effects no discharge of the defendant.
¶5The case was fairly submitted to the jury under *an impartial charge, to which charge no exception was taken and they rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. The evidence is amply sufficient to sustain that verdict. Judgment appealed from affirmed, with costs.
¶6McCarthy and Sohuchmakt, JJ., concur.
¶7Judgment affirmed, with costs.
