Ford v. Hixon

Mr. Justice Lawrence

delivered the opinion of the Court:

The judgment must be reversed in this case, because it is for too large a sum. The jury evidently allowed interest at the rate of ten per cent, on the money borrowed. For this there was no warrant, as there had been no contract in regard to the rate of interest, and in such cases the legal rate is six per cent.

The judgment must be reversed and the cause remanded-

Judgment reversed.
