In September, Inn, defendant had paid onn account, and
the sum claimed was made up by the interest chared ; defen-
dant had always paid up his hills beforc.--His Houour thought
It a very good plan to piece debtor* under a penalty If money
was not pahl in • certain time, but it was always neocsory that
attention should hecal ed to the matter. Defendant .114 not
