Weems v. Ventress

Merrick, C. J., dissenting. I cannot think that the promissory note payable to order, matured, so as to bear interest, before the expiration of the last day of grace. Acts 1855, p. 47, sec. 6, and p. 352 ; Story on Promissory Notes, sec. 215, and note 1; Ohitty on Bills, ed. 1849, p. 521; McDonald v. Lee’s Administrator. And as I see no reason to overrule the case of Cumming v. Archinard et al., 1 An. 280, I am unable to concur in the decree in this case.
