““It is undoubtedly tlie rule that the plaintiff must declare specially, the contract continuing executory, but when it has been executed, and payment only remains, the plaintiff may, at his election, declare specially or’ noon the common counts; and so, also, when the work contracted to be done was not performed within the stipulated time or in the stipulated manner, and yet was beneficial to the defendant, and has been accepted and enjoyed by him, the plaintiff cannot recover upon the contract, because he has departed from it. but may recover upon the common counts.
