Action by E. Hanecy, plaintiff, against F. P. Read, defendant, to recover $750 attorney’s fees, together *198with interest thereon. From a judgment for plaintiff for $907.29, defendant appeals.

Abstract of the Decision.

1. Appeal and error, § 438 * — necessity of pointing out variance in trial court. Where a particular variance is not pointed out in the trial court it is not subject to review.

2. Account stated, § 7* — when created, An account stated is created where repeated promises to pay a claim are made at different times.

3. Attorney and client, § 136* — what are questions for jury in action for services. In an action by one attorney against another for services in a case in which the second attorney was a party, held, on conflicting evidence, that whether plaintiff had overcharged defendant and whether his fees were to be dependent upon the outcome of the action were questions for the jury.

4. Damages, § 244* — when error in admission and exclusion of evidence as to wealth of defendant is cured. Any error in allowing plaintiff’s counsel, in an action by an attorney, for services, to examine defendant as to the amount of property owned by him, and in refusing to permit defendant to show the amount of incumbrance on the property, held to be cured where the court instructed the jury that such evidence was immaterial, and that the wealth or poverty of either parties could not be considered in arriving at their verdict.

5. Limitation oe actions, § 79* — when statute is tolled. An action for services of an attorney is not barred because an action was not commenced within five years next after the cause of action accrued where the running of the statute is tolled by repeated promises to pay.

6. Trial, § 275* — when special interrogatories are properly refused. • The trial court does not err in refusing to submit special interrogatories to the jury where such interrogatories were not submitted to opposing counsel, as required by Rev. St. ch. 110, sec. 79 (J. & A. H 8616).

Jonas 0. Hoover, for appellant.
