Nesbit v. Pope

2 U.S. 143

Opinion

By the Court:

—Such an entry cannot be conclusive. This is a mere mistake ; and as it was immediately discovered, and notice given, no inconvenience arose from it. If the plaintiff had suffered any thing by it, it might have been another matter: But here he could suffer nothing. If he was ready for trial when the entry was made, he must be ready when the mistake was notified to him.
