Monhof v. Happy

Plaintiff sues for work, labor and services, but on her own showing her claim for same would be barred by the Statute of Limitations. She claims, however, a payment on account to avert the effect of the statute. Defendant shows that at the time the payment was made the following agreement was entered into:
