District Court, District of Columbia April 15, 1802 (Davy v. Faw)

The Court,

allowed parol evidence to show what were the accounts and contracts meant in the submission, and stopped Mr. C. Lee who had offered such evidence, and informed him that in the case of Ellzey v. Mosorop, in Washington, they had decided that where the terms of submission were uncertain, parol evidence might be given of the controversies submitted.
