Opinion
June Term, 1806.
The judgment of the County Court, not being lessened in the Superior Court, bears 10 per cent interest up to the time of rendering judgment in the Superior Court.
THIS was an action of debt, and the plaintiff having recovered a judgment in the County Court, the defendant appealed to the Superior Court of Law for the district of Fayetteville, in which court, having failed to diminish the sum recovered in the County Court, the plaintiff's counsel moved for judgment against the defendant for the additional interest given by the act of Assembly; and the question, for what space of time the judgment obtained in the County Court is to bear 10 per cent interest, was referred to this Court.
From Fayetteville.
Under the act of Assembly on this subject, the judgment of the County Court is to bear interest at the rate of 10 per cent from the time of obtaining the (132) same in the County Court up to the time of obtaining judgment in the Superior Court.
