Respublica versus Mitchell.
[MAJORITY]
THIS was an appeal from the settlement of Mitchell's account by the Comptroller General; and the cause had been referred, by consent. The referrees reported a fum due to Mitchell; but had omitted to allow him interest; which, being stated to the Court.
It was resolved, That the State was liable to pay interest, as well as individuals; and that the Court would add it, under the circumstances of the case, although the referrees had not expressly, given it in their report.
