A contracts in writing to pay his attorney, B, a fixed sum in lieu of costs. The contract contains mistakes as to the name and rights of the client, which, if construed strictly, would exclude B from all rights under it. B is entitled, if the Court thinks, fit, to have it rectified, and to an order for payment of the sum, as if at the time of its execution it had expressed the intention of the parties.
