Where there are only two defendants to a bill in equity, one adult, the other infant, and after summons issued, though not served, the bill is filed in term, with the consent of the adult, and the court appoints a guardian ad litem for the infant, and his answer is filed, there is thus a cause for the action of the court and it has jurisdiction to decree upon the matter of the hill, and its decree is neither void nor erroneous for the mere cause of want of service of the summons, or that the bill was not filed at rules, (p. 519).<br/><br/>

=== Case #2  ===
Generally, to warrant equity to reform a deed for mistake the mistake must be mutual; but where there are not two parties to the contract, and by mistake of the scrivener the instrument does not execute the purpose of the party executing, the deed, equity will reform the deed at his instance, (p. 520).<br/><br/>

If one sign a written contract without acquainting himself with its contents, he is estopped by his own negligence from asking relief against its obligation, if his- signature is procured without fraud. (p. 521).<br/><br/>
