Connecticut Superior Court

Decided March 15, 1790

Connecticut Superior Court · decided 1790-03-15

<p>A debt contracted before the war for wbicb, a new note was given since the war, and before'tbe statute, respecting absentees with the enemy, was made, is within the equity of the statute.</p>

Decided 1790-03-15

¶1*179Judgment — Nothing erroneous. This is a debt contracted before the war; although the security was renewed since, yet debts are the object of the statute; had the note been renewed since the statute was made, the case would hare been otherwise; but it was given when no such statute was thought of by the people in general. The debt now belonging to the heir makes no difference.

¶2This judgment was affirmed in the Supreme Court o£ Errors.
