Webb v. Rice , 1 Lock. Rev. Cas. 386 ( 1799 )

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.
