Indiana Supreme Court May 16, 1818 (Bullitt v. Scribner)

Blackford, J.

This judgment is founded upon the idea, that cases of this kind must be governed by the lex mercatoria of England. We are of opinion, however, that the law of our country is otherwise. Supposing the law merchant to be a part of the common law, and adopted into our code, still that does not prove the correctness of the judgment before us.
