Singleton v. Ogden
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided July 15, 1807
5 N.C. 157

Singleton v. Ogden

Opinion of the Court

By the Court

The defendants intestate in this case promised not to demand interest for the time the depreciated currency was offered to him in payment: and the circumstance that ho thereby avoided receiving what the law and Ihe necessity of the times then made a legal tender, and which must unavoidably have sunk to nothing in his hands, affords such a consideration to support his promise as to entire the complainant to the aid of a Court of Equity to enforce a compliance with it. 1 he injunction must therefore fee made perpetual as prayed for by complainant.
