23 Ky. 53 | Ky. Ct. App. | 1828
delivered the Opinion of the Court.
Absent-Chief Justice Bibb.
The plaintiff in error brought her petition and summons, on a note executed to her intestate, in the following words:
“ On or before the 10th of May next, I promise to pay John V. Bush, one hundred and fifty round silver dollars, for value received, this 19th day of March, 1817. [Signed,] Will. T. Bush.
Teste, Will. T. Christie.
I will pay fifteen per cent on the above note until paid. ' [Signed,] William T. Bush.
The defendant craved oyer and demurred — the plaintiff joined in demurrer, and the court gave judgment on the demurrer for the defendant, and the plaintiff has prosecuted her writ of error.
We conceive the court below erred. For although this note was given, when the act of assembly, then
Judgment reversed, with costs, and cause remanded, with directions to enter judgment for plaintiff, unless the defendant shall apply for, and obtain leave to withdraw the demurrer and plead to the merits of the action.
