Syllabus

<p>Sales—Estimated, quantity—Mistake—Deficiency—Compensation.—Where vendee contracts for the payment of a gross sum for a tract of land upon an estimate of a certain quantity, it is presumable that the quality influences the price, and that the contract is not one of hazard ; and where by mutual mistake the parties have overestimated the quantity, an abatement will be allowed for the deficiency, according to the rule laid down in Yost v. Mallicote, 77 Va. 610.</p>
