## Opinion text

Adams, J.
(concurring in result) : While the questions involved are by no means free from difficulty, I have concluded after a close, scrutiny of the record that upon the facts found by Judge Devin the judgment should be affirmed, although the reasons upon which my conclusion is founded differ in certain respects from some of those given in the opinion of the Court. The plaintiffs are entitled to the agreed value of their service based upon a valid contract, and to deny relief is to withhold a right. Ubi jus ibi remedium — there is no wrong without a remedy, for want of right and want of remedy are reciprocal.
