Wilson & M'Rae v. Keeling
Court of Appeals of Virginia · Decided October 15, 1793 · Lyons
1 Va. 247

Wilson & M'Rae v. Keeling

Opinion of the Court

Lyons I.

delivered the opinion of the Court

The case is too clear to be argued. This is a downright attempt to evade the law, directing the mode of settling debts contracted in paper money, without a single circumstance to countenance it.

In the case Wily v. Panky, in the General Court, it was determined, that the creditor who concealed himself in his house, to evade a tender, should sustain the loss by the depreciation of the money.

Decree affirmed.(1)

Nicholas's Ex. v. Tyler 1 Hen. & Munf. 331.
