Bolton v. Duncan

Warner, Chief Justice.

This case came before the court below on a certiorari from a justice court on the hearing of which the court sustained the certiorari. It appears from the return of the magistrate and the evidence in the record, that Bolton had sued out a distress warrant against Duncan on the following instrument, with the following entries thereon :

“ By the first of October next, we, or either of us, promise to pay Turner & Bolton, or bearer, nine hundred pounds *104of lint cotton, to class good ordinary, and to be delivered in Albany. January 15th, 1877.

(Signed) Moses Duncan,
