The question was, Whether a general discharge of all claggs, claims, bonds, bills, requires stamped paper, or could be pleaded in bar of a bill without being stamped? The President said that he believed a release in England required stamped paper, but that a receipt of the whole debt does not. Some of us wanted to see the resolution the Court came to after the stamp act, inter quos ego, though I thought it ridiculous to require stamped paper in a discharge of a bill or account that itself required not stamped paper. But it carried to repel the objection.
