A CURIOUS SCIT.-A case of some interest
was terminated N the Baltimore city conf
Monday. About tnu years ago a man named
Andrew U. Green borrowed from "A Mr.
Thompson S2I5, and gave two notes, on which
from 1861 to October, 1872, be paid interest n
the rate of two aud half per cent per
month, taking up the Old notes and renew
ing by new note every month. Altogether
by october, 1872, he had paid about $500, or
considerably over the original debt and legal
interest, aud still the notes were outstanding
against nm. Green sued Thompson and got
Judgment, and on appeal IL was carried 20
the city court. Judge Brown held that the
monthly renewals were only settlements
and that the statute of limitations, which
was pleaded, would apply. He also held that
thompson could only recover the oyerplus of
three years back interest, and that Green
could recover the whole amount OF the notes
The parties under this decision Withdrew
their respective claims, and thus considered
the matter settled.
