Syllabus

<p>Rule for Computing- Interest.—The rule for computing interest where partial payments have been made, is that where the partial payment exceeds the amount then due for interest, the principal sum and interest shall be added together, and the payment deducted, and the remainder will bear interest until the next payment. But if the interest, due at the time of a partial payment-, exceeds the amount paid, the payment shall be credited on the accrued interest, and the balance of unpaid interest shall be added to the interest afterwards accruing until the next payment.</p> <p>Idem.—The rule of law, except in certain special equitable cases, is that interest shall not be compounded unless in accordance with the stipulations of the contract between the parties.</p>
