1Opinion of the CourtJustice Gray
This is an action brought in this court by the United States against-the State of North Carolina upon bonds issued by the State and held by .the United States. By the case stated, it appears that the' State, some time after the. maturity of the bonds, paid the principal, together with interest thereon to the time when the bonds became payable.; and the only question presented for our decision is whether, as matter of law, the principal of the -bonds bore interest after maturity, and according to our opinion upon this question judgment is to be entered for the one party or the other.
