Scott's Executors v. Call

1 Va. 115

Court of Appeals of Virginia·Decided October 15, 1792·Published

Opinion

Carringtost, J.

Delivered the opinion of the Court.

The point which was argued at the bar, and which grows out of the bill of exceptions, need not be decided, as the Court think the judgment erroneous in this, that the demand in the declaration is for the current money value of a debt due in sterling money, on a protested bill of exchange, which is recoverable in sterling money only.

The judgment therefore must be reversed with costs.
