Per Curiam.
It appears that the defendant affirmed the contract for advertising, claimed to have been made with Tongue, one year after the same had been performed. A bill for clothing was sent, in accordance with the agreement as alleged by defendant, wherein credit for the agreed price of the work was given.
The printing work, which was the subject of the second cause of action, having been furnished by plaintiff through negotiations had with Tongue in manner similar to those which took place as to the advertising, and with the same provision for payment “ in trade,” the finding in favor of plaintiff upon that issue establishes the fact that Tongue’s arrangement for individual payment in clothing furnished was held by the justice to in no way affect the plaintiff’s right of recovery; and it appears from the defendant’s testimony that the said Tongue was understood to be acting for the plaintiff corporation.
Moreover it appears from a letter sent by defendant to plaintiff, shortly before suit was brought, and received in evidence, that the former reaffirmed his subsequent acceptance of the contract as performed by expressing his reliance upon the bill for clothing, above referred to, with the credit for advertising work, and threatening to sue plaintiff for the balance due thereon.
Upon the record the determination of the justice upon the several issues presents an inconsistency which would require a reversal of the judgment, and, in this connection, a new trial of all the issues must be ordered. Goodsell v. Western Union Tel. Co., 109 N. Y. 147.
