Case 107.
Error to the Franklin County Court.
Evidence. Judicial notice. Banknotes. Error.
June 26.
This was a writ of error to a judgment of the county court, rendered in favor of Waggener, a county creditor, against, Bell, as county collector, of the levy made in the year 1824, and collectable and payable in the year 1825. The bill of exceptions, which purports to contain all the evidence,- does not shew that Bell was collector, nor that the notes, on the bank of the commonwealth were of less value than lawful currency; and the judgment was rendered for the nominal amount of the claim in lawful money.
It was assigned for error among other things, that there was no evidence that Bell was the county collector, and that the judgment was erroneous because the court did not scale the paper collected, to its specie value, but rendered judgment in lawful money for the nominal amount.

Opinion:
Judge Mills
delivered the opinion of the court.
it seems to the court there was no evidence shewing that the bank paper was less than its nominal amount-in value, and there was no error in giving judgment for the amount claimed. Judgment affirmed, with costs and damages.
