Syllabus

<p>1. On an issue whether a note for dollars and cents, made in 1863, was payable in Confederate money or not, testimony that such money was then the only currency m the county where the rote was given, and that a note given at that time for dollars meant Confederate dollars, would not have been admissible, if objected to ; and, therefore, there was no error in refusing a continuance asked for the purpose of obtaining such testimony.</p> <p>2. Nothing but proof of a positive agreement by the parties to a note for “ dollars,'’ that it should he payable in Confederate money, would authorize a jury in finding that it was payable in that illegal currency.</p>
