Rumsey, Ch. J.

Said it was a mistaken idea that interest was always given by this coprt as a matter of course. It is in their discretion, and they will allow; ipferest, in the natura of damages, in such cases as? they thiqk it should be allowed.

In this case the court direct the interest to be calculated on the whole sum recovered in the court be- ■ low, • and award the same by way of additional damages.
