1Opinion of the CourtJustice Bean
It is the defendant’s theory of this case that, although the plaintiff performed the services in question of the reasonable value of $2,373.70, nevertheless the company was under no obligation to pay the plaintiff this sum, or any sum, for the rendition of the same. Defendant contends that the services in question were performed by the plaintiff under the terms of a contract by which the latter was required to render the same in consideration of the general compensation moving from the defendant to the plaintiff under the contract, which heretofore the defendant has fully paid.
