1779. 3 Sittings. [Friday] July 16.

saying what sort of Rupees. Impey said if this is so wholy uncertain as to have no meaning at all, because it is not said Current, Arcot, Sonaut, Sicca or some other particular sort of Rupees, then the Defendant may take advantage of it in arrest of Judgment.
Hyde. I incline to think “Rupees” named without any distinction must mean Sicca Rupees, because they are the Proper Coin of this Country. I propose to let the Advocate for the Plaintiff choose what kind of Rupees we should name for the Dammages, as he judged would be best for his Client, if a motion in arrest of Judgment should be made, and Impey assented to it. The Advocate named Sicca Rupees, and we gave Judgment accordingly.
Impey. I am inclined to think the Judgment would be good, for you have alledged such a Number of Rupees, as in those of the lowest value, will much exceed the Dammages given by the Judgment.
