Head Matter:
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.
