People v. Judges of Oneida Common Pleas
1 Wend. 28 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1828
By the Court,
Upon strict rules of grammatical construction, the bond is defective; but by transposing one line in the condition, so as to read the words italicised after the word appellant, the bond becomes perfect. In the construction of a written instrument, the whole is to be taken together, and effect given to the intent of the parties, if that can be discovered from the general scope and tenor of
Motion granted.
