The defendant testified that in 1913 he employed one Settlemore, a carpenter, to fix the back porch used in connection with plaintiff's flat; that by check dated November 5, 1913, he paid this carpenter $116.89 and received from him a note signed by plaintiff as follows: "All work is done all right." Although the defendant, being on the stand at the time, gave no evidence tending *Page 649 
to show that this work had anything to do with the front porch steps, the court, against the objection of the plaintiff, permitted the check and note to be placed in evidence before the jury. The testimony of plaintiff was that he employed this carpenter to fix the back porch; that he knew of no other work that he did and that he came to him for his pay with this note. The plaintiff duly excepted to the ruling of the court in admitting these papers.
