| . . . [I]t is a general rule in this country that compromises are to be favored, without regard to the nature of the controversy compromised. . . . If settlement be made . . . , free from fraud or mistake, whereby there is a surrender or satisfaction, in whole or in part, of a claim upon one side in exchange for or in consideration of a surrender or satisfaction of a claim in whole or in part, or of something of value, upon the other, however baseless may be the claim upon either side or harsh the terms as to either of the parties, the other cannot successfully impeach the agreement in a court of justice . . .
