Lessee of Stower v. Lightner

2 Yeates 40

Opinion

Per curiam.

The party must be confined to his own statement of the point's whereof he means to avail himself. The reason of filing exceptions to a report of referees applies strongly hereto. It prevents surprise, and the adversary comes prepared to repel those objections alone, unless others arise on the face of the award itself. Here the verdict is not peremptory.

Rule discharged and judgment pro quer.
