Supreme Court of Vermont January 15, 1837 (Phelps v. Wood)

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Redfield, J.

The first objection to the report is virtually disposed of, by the case of Catlin v. Aiken, 5 Vt. Rep. 179. A mere mistake in charge, whether it be corrected by a credit or erasure, or stand uncorrécted, is not to affect the jurisdiction of the court. It would be almost too gross an absurdity to merit refutation.
