Supreme Court of Vermont January 15, 1826 (Sawyer v. Doane)

Skinner, Ch. J.

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The rules by which the Courts are governed, in accepting or rejecting the reports of auditors, and the reports of referees, are very different. In the former, to err in point of law, is fatal; but in the latter, the same principles have obtained here, as in a court of chancery, upon awards.
