Court of Appeals of Virginia May 25, 1870 (Exchange Bank v. Knox)

Christian, J.

These two cases are brought up by writs of error to judgments of the Circuit court of the-city of Richmond. Being kindred cases, they were-heard together in this court, and were argued with marked ability and learning by the counsel on both sides. They present a question, which is without judicial precedent in this State. Its adjudication, here, will affect important interests.
