Steele v. . Holt

Opinion of the Court

Reade, J.

A contract void for illegality of consideration secured by a bond to pay money is not cured by the substitution of a new bond in place of the old one, for the same or for some other amount, between the same parties. *190 Noe does the adding of a mortgage as an additional security make any difference.

There is no error.

Per Curiam. Judgment affirmed.
