SHEWELL v. WYCOFF

U.S. Supreme Court
Jul 1, 1788

THERE was 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, BY THE COURT: — We must not sport with things of so solemn a nature as Reports of Referrees, 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.
