Facts
Chapman (P) agreed to sell part of lot 4 with an improved bungalow for $3,600 to Hoffman (D). D was given immediate possession, and when they went to settlement on the property, they were clearly under the understanding that they were only getting a part of lot 4 containing one dwelling. The deed given at settlement conveyed the entire lot. The mistake was discovered sometime afterward, and D refused to deed back the other unsold portions. P sued in equity to reform the deed on grounds of mistake.
