¶1delivered the opinion of the court.
¶2This is an appeal from a judgment of $44.07 which appellee recovered from appellant for services as a domestic. The controversy is wholly one of fact.
¶3Appellee testified to a contract made in St. Louis, whereby she was to serve appellant as housekeeper in Jacksonville for $12 per month; that she served him several months and that there was due her after allowing all credits $44.07. Appellant testified that the contract was that appellee should serve him for her clothing and necessary expenses, which he had furnished her.
¶4Appellant urges as the chief ground for reversing this insignificant judgment that the jury should have believed him instead of appellee. There is nothing in the case to merit an extended discussion. It was the peculiar province of the jury to say where the truth was, and we are not disposed to disturb their, finding, although there was some corroboration of appellant by a succeeding housekeeper, who testified that appellee had told her she was working for her clothing and expenses.
¶5The court committed no error in re-opening the case after appellee had concluded her testimony or in giving instructions. Judgment affirmed.
