discrepancy. a difference between one thing and another, between one writing 
and another; a variance. q.v. 
     2. discrepancies are material and immaterial. a discrepancy is 
immaterial when there is such a difference between a thing alleged, and a 
thing offered in evidence, as to show they are not substantially the same; 
as, when the plaintiff in his declaration for a malicious arrest averred, 
that "the plaintiff, in that action, did not prosecute his said suit, but 
therein made default," and the record was, that he obtained a rule to 
discontinue. 4 m.  m. 2 5 3. an immaterial discrepancy is one which does 
not materially affect the cause as, where a declaration stated that a deed 
bore date in a certain year of our lord, and the deed was simply dated " 
march 30, 1701." 2 salk. 658; 19 john. 49 5 taunt. 707; 2 b.  a. 301; 8 
miss. r. 428; 2 m'lean, 69; 1 metc. 59; 21 pick. 486.
