I In all eases which have hocn 'brought upon "auto-war" debts, the juries have fixed the measure of their verdicts at one-half of the principal, and interest to the 1st January, 18'J1. An.l the majority jof these eases, by agreement of |counsel, have been referred to the Clerk, t'? assevs the amount of principal and interest in conformity ! with this standard. In eases of Confederate debts, tSio rule for sealing debts, which i.; furnished by Act.ivioi) has been ap! ]tlied, except in ea^es of peculiar h.ardv-hip, where evidence has 'been !ffono into hs frt ?
