      ERROR to the circuit court oí Callaway county.
    The president and directors of the bank brought their action-against the defendants. — The defendants pleaded several pleas, that which alone is material to be noticed here is, that the note sued on, was made by the defendants to the plaintiffs in consideration of paper of said bank of the commonwealth of Kentucky and that the said paper was bills of credit, within the meaning of the constitution of the United States, issued on the credit of the State, The replication to this plea denies that the said bank paper or the notes of said bank were issued an the credit of the State, or that they are bills of credit. The charter of the bank was read in evidence.
   Tompkins J.

delivered the opinion of the court.

-The same question case case of the bank of the commonwealth of Ky. v. David Clark, decided by this court at its April term in the second judicial district, in the year 1835. There the charter of the bank was set out in the plea; here it.was read in evidence to support the issue made up, and is preserved in the bill of exceptions. The court being satisfied of with the opinion given on the former occasion, will do nothing more than refer to it.

The judgment of the circuit court, for the l'easons given in the opinion delivered in that case is reversed.
