In re Hewer: 1882

A true copy of a document was provided, but it was said that it could not be a true copy for an error as to the description of monthly payments.
Held: Bacon CJ said that a true copy did not necessarily need to be an exact copy: ‘but that it shall be so true that nobody reading it can by any possibility misunderstand it.’ This was ‘as purely a clerical error as can be imagined.’
