of this kind.
Hr. Buchanan—But this note is dated before the pining
of that att.
His Honour—You cannot set up a repealed act. It has
passed and gone. sud cannot be pleaded. No doubt the
Dote is a bad one under the statute of George 111., but
that has gone, and the rote being good under the repealing
statute plaintiff will recover.
Verdict for plaintiff.
