It is a general rule that any note, acknowledgment or memorandum in writing, fixing with precision the amount due and the time of payment, will be such a liquidation as will carry interest. So an order upon a principal, by his agent, for a sum agreed for in favor of a carrier for freight due, will carry interest from its date. The court will not... |

The single act of assisting a debtor to remove, without stating more, is not sufficient to render a person liable for a debt due by the person removed, although that assistance may have been given with a fraudulent intent; because it is a case in which a Plaintiff cannot qualify his injury, i. e. its nature and extent cannot be stated, for it is... |

The claim lost its legatory character, and even viewing this as a residuary interest, which I think it very much... |
