Opinion
The defendant in error is entitled to both interest and double costs. (2 Cowen’s Rep. 579. Stone v. Burt, ? Cowen’s Rep. 379.) The only objection which is made to allowing interest is, that as the action below was for a tort, no interest could be recovered there; and such is the general rule. (Gelston v. Hoyt, 13 John. Rep. 590.) But this was an action of trover, in which interest is recoverable upon the value of the goods from the time of the conversion.
Rule accordingly.
