Moore v. Gadsby

refused to permit the note offered by the plaintiff to go in evidence to the jury, because it was “a note for the security of money,” and not stamped agreeably to Act Cong. July 6, 1797, '§§ 1, 13 (1 Stat. 527). The note was in these words, viz.: “Received of Jno. Moore twenty-three hundred and twenty wt of hay, at seven pounds ten shillings per tunn, to be paid in sixty days from this date. 2,320 wt. at 7s. 6d. per C. Dollars, 29.00. Jno. Gadsby.
