Snowden v. Hemming

—It would occasion infinite trouble and confusion were the defendant’s doctrine to be admitted, and it is impossible to say where the mischief would end. It is true, that before a jury, proof may be made of the consideration, and of the time of delivering a bond; but this act of Assembly which, in particular cases, grants a delay of execution to the defendant, upon the tender of the interest and costs, must, surely, at the same time, recognize the written instruments as conclusive evidence of the contract; and we can enquire no farther.

Wilcocks took nothing by his motion.
