4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
ERROR. A mistake in judgment or deviation from the truth, in matters of fact
and from the law in matters of judgment.
2.-1 Error of fact. The law has wisely provide that a person shall be
excused, if, intending to do a lawful act, and pursuing lawful means to
accomplish his object, he commit an act which would be criminal or unlawful,
if it were done with a criminal design or in an unlawful manner; for
example, thieves break into my house, in the night time, to commit a
burglary; I rise out of my bed, and seeing a person with a drawn sword
running towards my wife, I take him for one of the burglars, and shoot him
down, and afterwards find he was one of my friends, whom, owing to the
dimness of the light, I could not recognize, who had lodged with me, rose on
the first alarm, and was in fact running towards my wife, to rescue her from
the hands of an assassin; still I am innocent, because I committed an error
as to a fact, which I could not know, and had, no time to inquire about.
3. Again, a contract made under a clear error is not binding; as, if
the seller and purchaser of a house situated in Now York, happen to be in
Philadelphia, and, at the time of the sale, it was unknown to both parties
that the house was burned down, there will be no valid contract; or if I
sell you my horse Napoleon, which we both suppose to be in my stable, and at
the time of the contract he is dead, the sale is void. 7 How. Miss. R. 371 3
Shepl. 45; 20 Wend. 174; 9 Shepl. 363 2 Brown, 27; 5 Conn. 71; 6 Mass. 84;
12 Mass. 36. See Sale.
4. Courts of equity will in general correct and rectify all errors in
fact committed in making deeds and contracts founded on good considerations.
See Mistake.
5.-2. Error in law. As the law is, or which is the same thing, is
presumed to be certain and definite, every man is bound to understand it,
and an error of law will not, in general, excuse a man, for its violation.
6. A contract made under an error in law, is in general binding, for
were it not so, error would be urged in almost every case. 2 East, 469; see
6 John. Ch. R. 166 8 Cowen, 195; 2 Jac. & Walk. 249; 1 Story, Eq. Jur. 156;
1 Younge & Coll. 232; 6 B. & C. 671 Bowy. Com. 135; 3 Sav. Dr. Rom. App.
viii. But a foreign law will for this purpose be considered as a fact. 3
Shepl. 45; 9 Pick. 112; 2 Ev. Pothier, 369, &c. See, also, Ignorance;
Marriage; Mistake.
7. By error, is also understood a mistake made in the trial of a cause,
to correct which a writ of error may be sued out of a superior court.
|
5. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
ERROR, WRIT OF. A writ of error is one issued for a superior to an inferior
court, for the purpose of bringing up the record and correcting an alleged
error committed in the trial in the court below. But it cannot deliver the
body from prison. Bro. Abr. Acc. pl. 45. The judges to whom the writ is
directed have no power to return the record nisi judicium inde redditum sit.
Nor can it be brought except on the final judgment. See Metcalf's Case, 11
Co. Rep. 38, which is eminently instructive on this subject. Vide Writ of
Error.
