Baker v. Roberts

Suit by Jeremiah, assignee of Joseph T. Roberts, upon a promissory note of the following tenor:

“ One day after date, we, or either of us, promise to pay Joseph T. Roberts, or bearer, the sum of 200 dollars, for value received, without relief from valuation laws, and with interest. Thomas Baker,

“ September 9,1858. Jacob Lawson.”

The Court rendered judgment for the plaintiff without relief, &c.

In this it is said the Court erred, because the section of law authorizing such judgment is unconstitutional, not being properly included under the title of the act.

There may be force in this position so…
