Brooks v. Coquard

Opinion of the Court

Treat, J.

The contract must be considered closed on February 15th, hence the plaintiff is entitled to damages at St. Louis rates on that day, the defendant having then given notice of refusal to fulfill the contract.

Judgment is therefore given at the rate of 1 per cent, advance on 392 shares, viz., for $392, with interest at the rate of 6 per cent, from the day on which the contract was broken.
