2.
There are two kinds of constructions; the first, is literal or strict;
this is uniformly the construction given to penal statutes. 1 Bl. Com.
88; 6 Watt's & Serg. 276; 3 Taunt. 377. 2d. The other is liberal,
and applied, usually, to remedial laws, in order to enforce them
according to their spirit.
3.
In the supreme court of the United States, the rule which has been
uniformly observed " in construing statutes, is to adopt the
construction made by the courts of the country by whose legislature the
statute was enacted. This rule may be susceptible of some modification
when applied to British statutes which are adopted in any of these
states. By adopting them, they become our own, as entirely as if they
had been enacted by the legislature of the state.
4.
The received construction, in England, at the time they are admitted to
operate in this couutry - indeed, to the time of our separation from
the British empire - may very properly be considered as accompanying the
statutes themselves, and forming an integral part of them. But, however
we may respect the subsequent decisions (and certainly they are
entitled to great respect,) we do not admit their absolute authority. If
the English courts vary their construction of a statute, which is
common to the two countries, we do not hold ourselves bound to fluctuate
with them. 5 Pet. R. 280.
5.
The great object which the law has in all cases, in contemplation, as
furnishing the leading principle of the rules to be observed in the
construction of contracts, is, that justice is to be done between the
parties, by enforcing the performance of their agreement, according to
the sense in which it was mutually understood and relied upon at the
time of making it.
6.
When the contract is in writing, the difficulty lies only in the
construction of the words; when it is to be made out by parol testimony,
that difficulty is augmented by the possible mistakes of the witnesses
as to the words used by the parties; but still, when the evidence is
received, it must be assumed as correct, when a construction is to be
put upon it. The following are the principal rules to be observed in the
construction of contracts. When. the words used are of precise and
unambiguous meaning, leading to no absurdity, that meaning is to be
taken as conveying the intention of the parties. But should there be
manifest absurdity in the application of such meaning, to the particular
occasion, this will let in construction to discover the true intention
of the parties: for example; 1st. When words are manifestly inconsistent
with the declared purpose and object of the contract, they will be
rejected; as if, in a contract of sale, the price of the thing sold
should be acknowledged as received, while the obligation of the seller
was not to deliver the commodity. 2 Atk. R. 32. 2d. When words are
omitted so as to defeat the effect of the contract, they will be
supplied by the obvious sense and inference from the context; as, if the
contract stated that the seller, for the consideration of one hundred
dollars, sold a horse, and the buyer promised to pay him for the said
horse one hundred, the word dollars would be supplied. 1 3d. When the
words, taken in one sense, go to defeat the contract, while they are
susceptible of another construction which will give effect to the design
of the parties, and not destroy it, the latter will be preferred. Cowp.
714.
8.
- 2. The plain, ordinary, and popular sense of the words, is to be
preferred to the more unusual, etymological, and recondite meaning or
even to the literal, and strictly grammatical construction of the words,
where these last would lead to any inefficacy or inconsistency.
9.
- 3. When a peculiar meaning has been stamped upon the words by the
usage of a particular trade or place in which the contract occurs, such
technical or peculiar meaning will prevail. 4 East, R. 135. It is as if
the parties in framing their contract had made use of a foreign
language, which the court is not bound to understand, but which on
evidence of its import, must be applied. 7 Taunt. R. 272; 1 Stark. R.
504. But the expression so made technical and appropriate, and the usage
by which it has become so, must be so clear that the court cannot
entertain a doubt upon the subject. 2 Bos. & P. 164; 3 Stark. Ev.
1036: 6 T. R. 320. Technical words are to be taken according to their
approved and known use in the trade in which the contract is entered
into, or to wbich it relates, unless they have manifestly been
understood in another sense by the parties. Vide 16 Serg. & R. 126.
10.
- 4. The place where a contract has been made, is a most material
consideration in its construction. Generally its validity is to be
decided by the law of the place where it is made; if valid there, it is
considered valid every where. 2 Mass. R. 88; 1 Pet. R. 317 Story, Confl.
of Laws, 2; 4 Cowen's R. 410, note; 2 Kent, p. 39, 457, in the notes 3
Conn. R. 253 , 472; 4 Conn. R. 517. Its construction is to be according
to the laws of the place where it is made for example, where a note was
given in China, payable eighteen months after date, without any
stipulation as to the amount of interest, the court allowed the Chinese
interest of one per centum per month from the expiration of the eighteen
mouths. 1 Wash. C. C. R. 253 see 12. Mass. R. 4, and the article
Interest for noney.
11.
- 5. Previous conversations, and all that passes in the course of
correspondence or negotiation leading to the contract, are entirely
superseded by the written agreement. The parties having agreed to reduce
the terms of their contract to writing, the document is constituted as
the only true and final exposition of their admissions and intentions;
and nothing which does not appear in the written agreement will be
considered as a part of the contract. 5 Co. R. 26; 2 B. & C. 634; 4
Taunt. R. 779. But this rule admits of some exceptions; as, where a
declaration is made before a deed is executed, showing the design with
which it was to be executed, in cases of frauds; 1 S. & R. 464; 10
S. & R. 292; and trusts, though no trust was declared in the
writing. 1 Dall. R. 426; 7 S. & R. 114.
12.
- 6. All contracts made in general terms, in the ordinary course of
trade, are presumed to incorporate the usage and custom of the trade to
which they relate. The parties are presumed to know such usages, and not
to intend to exclude them. But when there is a special stipulation in
opposition to, or inconsistent with the custom, that will of course
prevail. Holt's R. 95.
13.
- 7 . When there is an ambiguity which impedes the execution of the
contract, it is first, if possible, to be resolved, on a view of the
whole contract or instrument, aided by the admitted views of the
parties, and, if indispensable, parol evidence may be admitted to clear
it, consistently with the words. 1 Dall. R. 426; 4 Dall. R. 34 0; 8 S.
& R. 609.
14.
- 8. When the words cannot be reconciled with any practicable or
consistent interpretation, they are to be considered as not made use of "
perinde sunt ac si scripts non essent."
15.
It is the duty of the court to give a construction to all written
instruments; 3 Binn. R. 337; 7 S. & R. 372; 15 S. & R. 100 4 S.
& R. 279 8 S. & R. 381; 1 Watts. R. 425; 10 Mass. R. 384; 3
