From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  VARIANCE, pleading, evidence. A disagreement or difference between two parts 
  of the same legal proceeding, which ought to agree together. Variances are 
  between the writ and the declaration, and between the declaration and the 
  evidence. 
       2.-1. When the variance is a matter of substance, as if the writ sounds 
  in contract, and the other in tort, and e converso, or if the writ demands 
  one thing or subject, and the declaration another, advantage may be taken of 
  it, even in arrest of judgment; for it is the writ which gives authority to 
  the court to proceed in any given suit, and, therefore, the court can have 
  no authority to hear and determine a cause substantially different from that 
  in the writ. Hob. 279; Cro. Eliz. 722. But if the variance is in matter of 
  mere form, as in time or place, when that circumstance is immaterial, 
  advantage can only be taken of it by plea in abatement. Yelv. 120; Latch. 
  173; Bac. Ab. Abatement, I; Gould, Pl. c. 5, Sec. 98 1 Chit. Pl. 438. 
       3.-2. A variance by disagreement in some particular point or points 
  only between the allegation and the evidence, when upon a material point, is 
  as fatal to the party on whom the proof lies, as a total failure of 
  evidence. For example; the plaintiff declared in covenant for not repairing, 
  pursuant to the covenant in a lease, and stated the covenant, as a covenant 
  to "repair when and as need should require;" and issue was joined on a 
  traverse of the deed alleged. The plaintiff at the trial produced the deed 
  in proof, and it appeared that the covenant was to "repair when and as need 
  should require, and at farthest after notice:" the latter words having been 
  omitted in the declaration. This was held to be a variance, because the 
  additional words were material, and qualified the effect of the contract. 7 
  Taunt. 385. But a variance in mere form or in matter quite immaterial, will 
  not be regarded. Str. 690. Vide 1 Vin. Ab. 41; 12 Vin. Ab. 63; 21 Vin. Ab. 
  538 Com. Dig. Abatement, G 8, H 7; Id.; Amendment, D 7, 8, V 3: Bail, R 7; 
  Obligation, B 4; Pleader, C 14, 15, L 24, 30; Record, C, D, F; Phil. Ev.
