Counterpart, the corresponding partor duplicte; the key of a cipher. When the severalprts of an indenture (as is almost invariably the case with a lease) are interchangeably executed by the several parties, that partor copy which isexecuted by the grantor inusually called the original, and the rest are counterparts. If a lease and counterpart differ,the ordinary rule is that the lease prevails; but the rule may be departed fromit the mistake be clearly in the lease, Burchell v. Clark, (1876) 2 CPD 88; Matthews v. Smallwood, (1910) 1 Ch 777. The lessee cannot without agreement be made to pay the costs of the counterpart [Re Negus, (1895) 1 Ch 73]....
