¶1(dissenting.) — Inasmuch as the probate court was authorized, and almost required to regard Confederate treasury-notes as a valid payment for land sold under its decree, if the evidence showed the vendee purchased it with the understanding that it might be paid for in such currency, and on that account brought a nominal price greatly in excess of its value, it seems to me that he is entitled to relief as in cases of individual contraéis.
