Opinion

Per Curiam.

We cannot say that any part of the judgment was made up of interest since the appeal* or that the appellant succeeded to the amount of a farthing. The interest being a small’ matter, the plaintiff may have abandoned it: and although a contrary presumption might be made to support a judgment, it cannot to reverse one. The judgment for costs is not only possibly, but probably right; and we are not to reverse on suspicion of error.

Judgment affirmed.
