Jones v. Belcher
Jones v. Belcher
1 Super. Ct. Jud. 9
Jones v. Belcher
Opinion of the Court
But
were of Opinion, as the Bond was given to a Person here, (not the Creditor in England,) and the Debt was become his, New England interest ought to be granted. (
(1) This is according to the general rule of computing interest according to the lex loci contractus. Winthrop v. Carleton, 12 Mass. 4. Vonlemert v. Porter, 11 Met. 210. But where interest is given as damages, the lex fori prevails. Barringer v. King, 5 Gray, 9, 12. Eaton v. Lellus, 7 Gray, 566.
