    Opinion filed October 5, 1915.
    Statement of the Case.
    Action by Lillian MacNeel against N. J. Eisendrath on an oral contract for employment for one year at twenty-five dollars per week, to recover for a portion of the year plaintiff was not given employment. The defense was that the contract was for service in a particular building afterwards destroyed by a flood, that the contract contemplated its continued existence, e and that the destruction of the building terminated the contract and excused further performance. From a judgment for the plaintiff, defendant appeals.
    Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Appeal and error, § 601
      
      —when motion for new trial necessary. The sufficiency of evidence to sustain a judgment will not be inquired into where the record does not show a motion for a new trial.
    2. Appeal and error, § 768
      
      —what record must show. The question of error in the giving of an instruction will not be reviewed on appeal where the record does not show at whose instance any of the instructions were given.
    3. Master and servant, § 82
      
      —what evidence is inadmissible in suit for wages. In a suit on a contract of employment claimed to have been terminated by the destruction of the building where the plaintiff was employed, there was no error in rejecting proof of the defendant’s contract for the building in question, as the only effect of the proof would have been to corroborate an undisputed "question of fact.
