eieditors upon what be due to they respective although the consideration of  interest dickens be not reserve nor any direction relate to interest give by  the decree Mr attorneygeneral and m Ord we re counsel for the plaintiff Lord  Hardwicke c the question in this case be whether where a decree direct a  account of the principal money and not interest and do not even reserve  interest the liquidate sum upon the account take shall carry interest from the  confirmation dickens er p by the report the case be hard and if I can come at  it agreeable to the rule as acknowledge I will do it here interest be not even  reserve by the decree and interest for the arrear of a annuity be not strict  due but depend upon the circumstance of the case sometime there may be a legal  remedy for interest but where there be no legal remedy the court have at its  discretion give it the first question therefore be whether the duchess be  entitle to it by the strict rule of the court as a r they judicatam if not  second whether the court have a discretionary power to give it as to the first  question whether the duchess be entitle to interest by the rule of the court I  be of opinion she be not for at law where there be no penalty you can have no  interest vet where there be a penalty you may levy the whole ba it be true you  have another method to come at it if instead of take out execution you bring a  action of debt on the judgement so it standsat law how be it then in this  court if a decree be make for a sum of money and there be a delay in payment I  do not know the plaintiff can come and pray interest dickens but the method  where a decree be make for a account and the master be to compute interest be  this the master in be sound subsequent interest compute it on the liquidate  sum from the confirmation of his report I do not recollect a instance and have  not hear one cite where the court have go the length of what be now pray if  any can be find to warrant I in do it I shall be please therefore let the  motion stand over and let precedent be search it stand over from time to time  for four month search be make by Mr Howard and the other register
