[Daniel Webster by Henry Cabot Lodge]@TWC D-Link bookDaniel Webster CHAPTER III 35/53
It is the reflection of a great man upon the mirror of a very small mind and weak memory.] The defendant Woodward having died, Mr.Webster moved that the judgment be entered _nunc pro tunc_.
Pinkney and Wirt objected on the ground that the other causes on the docket contained additional facts, and that no final judgment should be entered until these causes had been heard.
The court, however, granted Mr.Webster's motion.
Mr.Pinkney then tried to avail himself of the stipulation in regard to the special verdict, that any new and material facts might be added or any facts expunged.
Mr.Webster peremptorily declined to permit any change, obtained judgment against Woodward, and obliged Mr.Pinkney to consent that the other causes should be remanded, without instructions, to the Circuit Court, where they were heard by Judge Story, who rendered a decree _nisi_ for the college.
