The Virginia Gazette

We hear the State of New Hampshire have most equitably and wisely repealed the law that enabled a man to discharge a debt in silver, upon his paying the creditor the same nominal sum in paper; and have empowered their Judges not barely to hit in the seat of nominal justice, but really to dispense it between man and man. They were sensible that the law they have honourably repealed, was in its operation, giving infinite particular injury to every kind, and orphan against the government that enacted it, and that the cry was loud and piercing enough to make the devils even such a pagan to rise: They were fully sensible, that it must be a stain scandal upon any government to continue a law which the feelings of humanity would never allow to be executed; and according to which no jury with the least spark of conscience or honour could ever give their verdict.
