Syllabus

<p>1. Appellate Court&emdash;Decrees&emdash;Partial reversal.&emdash;It is familiar doctrine that where a decree is reversed in part, and affirmed as to the residue, such reversal does not destroy the lien of so much of the decree as is affirmed. Moss v. Moorman, 24 Gratt. 97. But it applies not to a reversal of judgment and award of new trial.</p> <p>2. Idem&emdash;Compound interest&emdash;Case at bar.&emdash;In Chapman's Adm’r v. Shepherd’s Adm’r and als, 24 Gratt, 377, this court reversed the decree of the circuit court so far only as it allowed compound interest on the amount due from Chapman’s estate, from October 7, 1851, instead of from August 4, 1853, and affirmed it in all other respects&emdash;</p> <p>Held :</p> <p>Such reversal did not affect the lien of the decree so far as it was affirmed.</p>
