Cooke v. Rhine ( 1784 )

Burke, J.

thought that the admission of the doctrine contended for by the defendant’s counsel, might have a tendency to introduce different and very opposite issues, which might embarrass both courts and juries exceedingly; and accordingly charged the jury to reject the discount.

Heyward, J.

was of a different opinion, and thought it a very proper matter for the consideration of the jury in this case.
