## Opinion text

Crockett, J., concurring:
I concur in the judgment, on the ground that recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States affirm the constitutionality of the Legal Tender Act; and whilst dissenting from the reasoning by which that conclusion is reached, I consider it to be the duty of this Court to acquiesce in the decision, so long as it remains unreversed.
