Webb v. Rice
Webb v. Rice
1 Lock. Rev. Cas. 386
Opinion of the Court
The Supreme Court held the evidence admissible, Bronson, J., dissenliente.
The Court of Errors reversed the judgment of the Supreme Court, holding that parol evidence was not-admissible in a court of law, to show that a deed, absolute on its face, was intended as a mortgage. The question whether even admissible in a court of equity, except on the ground of fraud, mistake or surprise, was raised, but not decided.
Judgment reversed, 2 only voting for affirmance.
