Syllabus

<p>Payments. When applied most beneficially to creditor. Course of dealings of parties.</p> <p>Where payments are made by a debtor without instructions as to which of several debts shall be credited therewith and there is no agreement as to how the same shall be applied, if the course of dealings between the parties authorize the creditor to rely upon a tacit understanding that payments may be applied most beneficially for him, the law will apply them accordingly, though the creditor neglect to do so.</p>
