Opinion:
Chief Justice Robertson
delivered the opinion of the Court.
There is error in the judgment in this, to-wit:

2d. The judgment is excessive; as the note was executed on the 1st of January, 1824, the defendant j-n error was emitted only to tbe value of the commonwealth paper and interest thereon. r r
Dana, for plaintiff; Denny, for defendant.
