Case No. 7,916.
    KNOX v. WALTON et al.
    [2 Wash. C. C. 507.] 
    
    Circuit Court, D. Pennsylvania.
    Jan., 1811.
    Referee's Report — Plain and Palpable Mistake.
    A report of referees, made under an order of court, set aside, because of a plain and palpable mistake as to matters of fact, appearing by the evidence of the referees.
    In this case [Knox against Walton and Caman], which came on upon exceptions to the report of referees under an order of the court, the report was set aside, upon the ground of a plain and palpable mistake of the referees as to matters of fact. The mistake appeared by the examination of the referees themselves.
