Syllabus
Exceptions to a/wa/rd.There was a report in this cause, and at the distance of a month after judgment nisi had been entered, the defendant filed reasons in exception to the report. But—
Sergeant, for the plaintiff. Bradford and Ingersoll, for the defendant.[1]
We must not sport with things of so solemn a nature as reports of referees, and verdicts of a jury. The exceptions are much too late. The rule is, that unless they are filed within four days, the judgment nisi becomes absolute.
