SUPREME COURT.
A judgment cannot be entered in the Supreme Court, even in the county of Philadelphia, by warrant of Attorney, upon a bond oƒ a date prior to the act of Affembly. 291
As by that act, the original jurifdiction of the Court is reftricted to the county of Philadelphia, a judgment cannot, at any fubfequent period, be entered as of Bucks county. ibid.
This Court has authority upon appeal, to alter and confirm any proceedings that come properly before the Comptroller General, but if he had no jurifdiction, the Court can have none: 362
As the Comptroller General, therefore, has no right to adjudge a compenfation from the ftate ƒor damages, which individuals have fuffered in the courfe of our military operations, the Court can grant no relief upon appeal, although the applicant might be entitled to it in equity. ibid.
See Comptroller General.

Therefore, a tender in Continental money, emitted by Congrefs beƒore the 29th oƒ January, 1777, is tantamount to payment. 407. 8
But a tender in Bills of Credit emitted ʃubʃequent to the 29th oƒ January, 1777, has only the effect of a tender at common law. ibid.
