Supreme Court of New Hampshire December 15, 1871 (Bixby v. Moor)

Smith, J.

The plaintiff would have been entitled to the reasonable worth of his entire services, if no part of them had been rendered in an illegal business. It must be conceded that he cannot recover for his services in the sale of liquor; but he claims that a portion of his services was rendered in a legal employment, and that he can recover the value of that portion.
