Only a party who is prejudiced by the mistake can maintain a suit for reformation.1 Thus a married woman who joins in her husband's deed to release dower, cannot have the deed reformed to correct a covenant of warranty where she was not bound by such warranty.2 So one who sues as partner for reformation of a partnership contract must show that he has an interest in such partnership.3 On analagous principles an instrument not supported by a valuable consideration will not be reformed.4 Thus no reformation will be given of a mortgage intended to prefer creditors.5
