Head Matter:
[*] WILLS against BROWN.
ON CERTIORARI.
Interest allowed on book account after reasonable credit.
The action below was brought to recover the amount of a running blacksmith account, of several years standing, on which interest had been charged, and allowed by the jury. It was objected against this judgment, that interest on an open account could not legally be recovered.

Opinion:
By the Court.
It has now become the general practice to allow interest on open accounts after a reasonable allowance for the time of credit.
Judgment affirmed.
