Syllabus

<p>Judgment — Opening judgment — -Interest—Husband and wife.</p> <p>A judgment note for borrowed money payable one day after date was given by a husband to a trustee for his wife; the wife lived with the husband seventeen years after the date of the note; there was no agreement as to the payment of interest; the wife’s declarations that she did not claim interest were proved. After the wife’s death the trustee entered judgment on the note including interest from its date. The court below opened the judgment, and directed a feigned issue to try how much was due on the note. Held, that there was no such abuse of discretion as would justify the supreme court in reversing the decree.</p>
