Manuel Gavieres for Ignacia de Gorricho (Depositor)
Trinidad Pardo de Tavera for Felix Pardo de Tavera (Depositary)
January 10, 1900: Appealed case is about collection of balance 1,423.75 petot from de Tavera, remaining from an
original obligation of 3,000.00 petot.
3,000 petot is the amount of the deposit delivered by Ignacia Gorricho to Felix Pardo de Tavera on October 31, 1859.
As stated in an agreement that:
o Felix received from Ignacia, 3,000 petot, as DEPOSIT payable on 2 months notice in advance. With
INTEREST at 6% per annum.
Trinidad contended as a defense that the document was not a contract of deposit, rather, a contract of loan.
Trinidad also alleged that being a contract of loan, the original obligation was already extinguished due to prescription.
