Bankers. '-.' ,i d
The Supreme Co urt has decided an impoF-
tant case to banker and business men under
the Leg&l.TendeF act Parties deposited with
the firm Of Riggs & CO., of this city, before the
currency deprecated, and upon gold rising to
a premium, they claim, to have made a special
contract with the defen dants by which their
gold deposits were to be paid in kind. 1t be-
came necessary, in order to show a contract,
to show that there was general arrangement
of the sort made at that time between deposit
tors and their bankers in the District. ,tl
This evidence the Court excluded, and hold
ing the Legal-Tender act as constitutional,
gave Judgment for the defendant. Appeal,
finally was taken to the Supreme Court. Jus
tice Clifford read the opinion of the Court
affirming the judgment below. 1t is thus
determined that the ruling as to the evidence
was correct and that the Court below was
correct in holding the Legal Tender act CON-
stitutional. The constitutionality of the act
is not discussed in the opinion, but as the
judgment below is affirmed, its constitutions
atty, as here held is consequence.
