Opinion

The case was submitted to the court without argument.

The court were clearly of opinion, that the instrument operated as an obligation, by the intention of ’the parties. It was given for a just debt, and was delivered to the creditor. The payment only was deferred until after his death, and was then to be made by his legal representatives. In this there is nothing illegal. (Vide 8 Term Rep. 483.)

Judgment for the plaintiffs.
