75 N.C. 163 | N.C. | 1876
The obligation sued on was executed in June, 1863, and it is, therefore, presumed to have been solvable in Confederate currency. Hilliard v. Moore,
In R. R. v. King, recently decided in the U.S. Supreme Court,
It may not always be easy to arrive at the value of Confederate money, at a given time and place. In default of other and better proof, it would doubtless be competent to give in evidence the value of the property for which the note was given, for the purpose of showing, as near as may be, the value of the Confederate currency named in the note.
(165) In the present case the court decided that the plaintiff was entitled to recover the value of the property sold. In this there is error.
PER CURIAM. Venire de novo.
