Opinion of the Court

Gaston, Judge.

It cannot be contended that Bank notes are a lawful tender, and it is equally plain that parol evidence is not admissible to contradict the written agreement. The opinion of the Judge is so obviously right upon both these points — each of which is fatal to the plaintiff’s recovery— that it necessarily follows that the judgment must be affirmed with costs.

Per Curiam,. ■ Judgment affirmed.
