One of the warrants was called by the treasurer in the course of the year mentioned, but upon its being presented he instated upon computing Interest on the principal sum for the full time (about five and a half yeara) and Interest on each payment from the time when made to the time of settlement, and on paying the differ ence between the two sums, which Is not the legal way of computing Interest where partial payments have been mink, and was the-jfore declined.
