Decided September 15, 1867

Oregon Supreme Court · decided 1867-09-15

At the November term, 1866, of the Circuit Court for Multnomah county, MitcheU & Dolph obtained a judgment .against Coffin. After giving due notice of an appeal, Coffin applied to respondent Coulson, the clerk of said court, for a transcript in the case, at the time tendering to respondent payment for making the same; the tender was made in legal currency.

Decided 1867-09-15

By the Court.

¶1With the exceptions of paying certain taxes, and satisfying the cases provided for in the act commonly known as the Specific Contract Law,” we know of no distinctions in the relative value or uses of the different *206kinds of money. In the Specific Contract Law express exception is made of the payment of costs, and, while the demand is to be discharged in the kind of money specified, costs follow the general rule. The case before us does not come within any of the exceptions. The fees of officers are satisfied when proper payment is made in any of the kinds of money recognized by law. The tender was good.

¶2The judgment below is therefore reversed.
