Opinion
April, 1799.
Vandyke and Bayard for plaintiff. Bead and Rodney for defendant.
Bond was payable at the end of one year, and no interest reserved. Jury gave a verdict for the principal and no interest.
Question was whether they could deny interest after the bond was payable. Verdict was taken subject to the opinion of the Court upon this point.
The jury had no power to refuse interest upon deciding the issues in favor of the plaintiff. The law gave him interest of course, after the bond was payable.
