Kingsbury v. . Lyon

Opinion of the Court

Reade, J.

In the case of Phillips v. Hooker, Phil. Eq. 193, it was decided, upon full argument and much consideration, that Confederate Treasury notes were a sufficient consideration to support a contract, when such notes were used in ordinary dealings, without intent to aid the Rebellion. That case has been frequently cited with approbation ; so that the question is settled.

The judgment below is reversed, and judgment here for plaintiff upon the case agreed.

Per Curiam. Judgment reversed, &c.
