Hastings v. Wiswall

Opinion of the Court

But the Court

denied the motion, observing that the plaintiff might have brought his action for the interest at the expiration of *379each year, and that by neglecting this he might be considered as waiving his claim to compound interest. The clerk was directed to add simple interest to the principal for the time that the interest remained unpaid, and to enter up judgment for that amount with costs.

Munroe. for the plaintiff. Fay for the defendant, (a)
