Flournoy v. Healy
Citations
- 31 Tex. 590
Syllabus
<p>Where a note was payable “in specie,” or for a larger amount in “United States currency,” and the judgment was rendered for the smaller amount “in specie,” it was error, and the judgment was ordered to be reformed.</p> <p>This court has decided the legal-tender-act to be constitutional, and hence any judgment having a tendency to impair, impeach, or set aside the validity of this act would be, pro tanto, erroneous. (Shaw v. Trunsler, 30 Tex., 391.)</p> <p>The words “specie” in the judgment might be regarded as surplusage; yet as the word is calculated to mislead, the judgment ought to be reformed. The case of Windisch v. Gussett, 30 Tex., 744, is reconcilable with this principle.</p>
