Supreme Court of North Carolina December 5, 1853 (Cooper v. . Purvis)

Battle, J.

We differ with his Honor upon the question raised on the trial, as to the admissibility of proof of the custom or usage relied on by the plaintiff, to imply a contract in his favor. It is directly opposed to the principle laid down by the Court, in the case of JONES v. AlleN, 5 Ired. Rep. 473.
