Opinion

The Att. Gen. who appeared for the plaintiff, attempted to show that a damage might arise to the plaintiff, who was in trade, by his not receiving the tobacco which was an exportable article; but the court did not give into it, and pressed the Attorney to say in what manner he would direct the jury himself; who said if he had [21]*21the power, he would direct the jury to consider the depreciation of money in order to do justice.
