Higbie v. Heath et al., appellants.
    
      Interest—compound interest—rules for computing—certificate annexed to case.
    
    The court will not enforce a contract for the payment of compound interest; but if the debtor pays it voluntarily, it cannot be recovered back. Mowry v. Bishop, 5 Paige, 98.
    When there is no certificate annexed to a case, stating that the latter contains the whole evidence, the court cannot say that a particular finding is not supported by the evidence. On the contrary, it must find that it is.
    Appeal by the defendant Moses Petrie from a judgment entered upon the findings of the judge before whom the action was tried without a jury.
    The action was brought by William Higbie against Gaylord Heath and others, to foreclose a mortgage originally given to executors, and assigned to the plaintiff.
    
      O. O. Cottle, for appellant.
    
      G. W. Smith, for respondent.
   Mullin, P. J.
