J. Vanderpoel, for the plaintiff in error. E. Williams, for the defendant. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] 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.
