Supreme Court of Vermont March 15, 1834 (Bliss v. Rollins)

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Williams, Ch. J.

— It does not appear in this case that the referees, intending to follow the law, have made a plain and apparent mistake. When they intend to follow the law, and .on a doubtful point make a mistake, yet this is not always a reason for setting aside their report, unless the mistake evidently led them to a wrong conclusion on the whole case.
