The Fredericksburg Herald says that Judge
Critcher's decision in the Farmers Bank case,
mentioned by us few days ago, will have the
effect of advancing the value of the notes of
the Old Banks, as large sums are still due them
throughout the Commonwealth. The question
involved was whether the Bank was compelled
to receive Its o,on notes in payment of debts
due it, in the shape Of negotiable paper dis.
counted, in view Of the late law and the deed
executed by the Bank, Jan. IT, 1867. The
Judge, in, his opinion, said the case resolved
into the single inquiry: Can q debt to the
bank, Notwithstanding 1.-THE this conveyance,
be paid in the notes Of the Bank ~ The Judge
decided that by the law lpassed in 1861 "no
creditor thereby acquired right that did not
pre-. exist; no debtor incurred new liability, or
lost an existing right" The Judge after Cit
ing numerous authorities, overruled the de-.
murrers, and thus sustained the point that all
who owe unpaid notes to the Bank can dis
charge the obligation by paying 10 the notes of
issue of the said bank.
