Governor ex rel. State Bank v. Griffin , 13 N.C. 352 ( 1830 )

Ruffin, Judge.

The extinguishment of the debt to the Bank depends altogether upon the intent, with which the money was advanced — whether by way of payment or purchase. Upon that, there can be no doubt; and the Plaintiff is entitled to recover. To this point maybe cited the case of Carter v. Sheriff of Halifax. (1 Hawks, 483.)

Per Curiam. — Let the judgment below he affirmed.
