The surety is charged with interest at four per cent or. the penal sum of the two bonds, viz.’, $3,250, from the date of the death of Dilworth M. Silver, to wit, July 31, 1926. As so modified the order .is affirmed, without costs of this appeal to either party. All concur. Present — Sears, P. J., Taylor, Edgcomb, Thompson and Crosby, JJ.
