Opinion

Mr. Justice Fitch

delivered the opinion of the court.

7. Interest, § 24*—payment vexatiously delayed. Where plaintiff is advised before signing a contract that defendant would not make a certain payment, the mere fact that defendant contested the claim to such payment does not constitute an unreasonable or vexatious delay, justifying an allowance of interest.
