MASTER AND SERVANT, § 59 — wages due housekeeper, sufficiency of evidence. In action for wages for services rendered by plaintiff as housekeeper, where defendant contended that he had merely given plaintiff and her children the run of his house as a matter of accommodation, any error committed by witness giving hearsay testimony to effect that defendant struck one of plaintiff's children was cured by immediate instruction to jury to disregard such testimony, defendant could not object to testimony of a rebuttal witness where he took the stand and developed the subject himself, and verdict for plaintiff was not contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence.
