Certiorari from a Justice’s Court.
sjt*“a ^ei-dict for §10, with interest from gUCh a day, may compute and rendei? judgment for both that and the principal.
In assumpsit, by Cady against Page, for $10 lent. The i ury found a verdict for the plaintiff, for ten dollars, with J 7 T . ■interest, from the 140 day of January, 1817. 1 he Justice computed the interest, amounting to $1,34, and added it to the principal sum, making $11,34, for which he gave judgment; and now this was objected here, as one cause why the judgment should be reversed.
J. Vanderpoel, for the plaintiff in error.
E. Williams, for the defendant.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The finding of the jury was certain. The calculation of interest was a mere, clerical act. The result of the calculation may be presumed to have been submitted to, and approved of, by the jury. It is as though they had found $10 principal, and $1,34 interest. Such a finding would clearly warrant a judgment for $11,34.
Judgment affirmed.
