[MAJORITY] THE Plaintiff had obtained a verd’uft; but a new trial was granted, upon condition, that a judgment fhould be entered as a fecurity, for whatever might be ultimately recovered. On the fecond trial, The Court inftruited the Jury,that where» judgment was given merely as a fecurity, the inte reft ought not to be calculated on the amount of the judgment (which included principal and intereft) but only on the fum originally due.
