Case No. 13,877.
THELASSON v. CRAMMOND.
[1 Wash. C. C. 319.]
Circuit Court, D. Pennsylvania.
(Adjourned) Oct. Term. 1806.
Award — Report of Referees — Exceptions — Additional Pacts.
When facts to sustain an additional exception to the report of referees, have been discovered, since the period for filing exceptions has passed; the court will allow the additional exception to be filed: although, if no exceptions had been filed in time, the discovery of such circumstances would noi induce the court to allow them to be filed.

Opinion:
Upon an affidavit that the defendant had not, until last night, discovered ground for an additional exception to the award; THE COURT permitted him to file it, saying; though the same reason might not have been a sufficient one to sanction the filing of exceptions originally, after the four days, because then the cause might be out of the reach of THE COURT; yet, as the cause is depending, an amendment may be made, where the proper foundation is laid for asking the indulgence.
