Syllabus

<p>Ground rent — Spanish milled dollars — Tender—Interest.</p> <p>1. Where a ground rent deed reserves a yearly rent in a stated number of Spanish milled dollars each weighing seventeen pennyweights and six grains at least, a tender made of the exact kind of money stipulated in the deed, is a good tender, and is not defeated by the fact that it does not include interest for nine days, amounting to one and one-quarter cents. The demand of one and one-quarter cents even as interest is too small and trifling a matter with which to vex the courts.</p> <p>2. An owner of a ground rent reserved in the deed as so many Spanish milled silver dollars can only recover the present current value of such dollars.</p>
