Superior Court of North Carolina · Decided November 5, 1797 · HAYWOOD, J., only in Court:
3 N.C. 5

Opinion of the Court

This bond is not made payable in South Carolina. If it were, yet as it was executed here, it shall only carry North Carolina interest. A contract is to be interpreted according to the law of the country where made, and draws to it such legal consequences as the law of that country attaches to it. Had the bond been executed in South Carolina, and there payable, it would undergo a different consideration.

NOTE. — See Kaighn v. Kennedy, 1 N.C. 37. *Page 20
