13 N.C. 352
Governor ex rel. State Bank v. Griffin
Opinion of the Court
The extinguishment of the debt to the Bank depends altogether upon the intent, with which the money was advanced — whether by way of payment or purchase. Upon that, there can be no doubt; and the Plaintiff is entitled to recover. To this point maybe cited the case of Carter v. Sheriff of Halifax. (1 Hawks, 483.)
Per Curiam. — Let the judgment below he affirmed.
