New York Supreme Court · Decided May 15, 1812
9 Johns. 120

Counsel

Sedgwick, contra.

Keith v. Jones

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The first count in the declaration, and to which there is a general demurrer, is good. The note therein stated is a negotiable note, under the statute; and being declared to be paya* *121ble in York state bills or specie, is the same thing as being made payable in lawful current money of the state ; for the bills mentioned mean bank paper, which is here, in conformity with common usage and common understanding, regarded as cash.

Judgment for the plaintiff.
