Counsel

Thomas Reed, for appellant., L. Sanders, Jr., for appellee.

Hatcher v. Stalworth

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Yerger

delivered the opinion of the court.

We see no error in this record. Where a party, on whom a bill is drawn at sight, offers or promises to pay at a future day, that amounts to an acceptance, if acceded to by the holder. 7 Pick. R. 34; Story on Bills, § 243, 244.

The proof in this ease, shows this to have been the state of facts; and we, therefore, must-affirm the judgment.
