Portrait of Stephen Johnson Field Stephen Johnson Field Kelly v. Crawford — Opinion of the Court

It is to be presumed that the parties desired to arrive at a just result, not to have a balance struck from the books without regard to their correctness. The agreement provides that the amount due was to be ascertained by Quigg, under the supervision of the parties, and the proof shows that this was done under the immediate supervision of one of the defendants.
