3 .
When a simple mistake ,
not a fraud ,
affects a contract ,
but does not change its essence ,
a court of equity will enforce it ,
upon making compensation for the error ,
The principle upon which courts of equity act ,"
says Lord Chancellor Eldon , "
is by all the authorities brought to the true standard ,
that though the party had not a title at law ,
because he had not strictly complied with the terms so as to entitle him to an action , (
as to time for instance ,)
yet if the time ,
though introduced ,
as some time must be fixed ,
where something is to be done on one side ,
as a consideration for something to be done on the other ,
is not the essence of the contract ;
a material object ,
to which they looked in the first conception of it ,
even though the lapse of time has not arisen from accident ,
a court of equity will compel the execution of the contract upon this ground ,
that one party is ready to perform ,
and that the other ma ,
have performance in substance if he will permit it ."

COMPENSATION ,
contracts ,
civil law .
When two persons are equally indebted to each other ,
there takes place a compensation between them ,
which extinguishes both debts .
Compensation is ,
therefore ,
a reciprocal liberation between two persons who are creditors and debtors to each other ,
which liberation takes place instead of payment ,
and prevents a circuity .
Or it may be more briefly defined as follows ;
compensatio est debiti et crediti intter se contributio .
2 .
Compensation takes places ,
of course ,
by the mere operation of law ,
even unknown to the debtors the two debts are reciprocally extinguished ,
as soon as they exist simultaneously ,
to the ,
amount of their respective sums .
Compensation takes place only between two debts ,
having equally for their object a sum of money ,
or a certain quantity of consumable things of one and the same kind ,
and which are equally liquidated and demandable .
Compensation takes place ,
whatever be the cause of either of the debts ,
except in case ,
1st .
of a demand of restitution of a thing of which the owner has been unjustly deprived ;

Compensation very nearly resembles the set -
off (
q .
v .)
of the common law .
The principal difference is this ,
that a set -
off ,
to have any effect ,
must be pleaded ;
whereas compensation is effectual without any such plea ,
only the balance is a debt .
