"value of the work only amounts to $2,000, to $3,000, a

"work was checked by Mr Bryan, and in his absence by Mr
"Carter, before the accounts were paid. This work was

"again even now, as the ground was laid out and marked,

"own house, and I have not sent him any bill, nor has be
"asked me to send.
