29 Del. 462 | Del. Super. Ct. | 1917
delivering the opinion of the court:
This court has held that a judgment for a certain sum with interest thereon from a date prior to the bringing of the action, without being ascertained and included in the sum for which the judgment is entered, is sufficient as for a sum certain. Robinson v. Fisher, 1 Boyce, 1, 74 Atl. 365, following Thomas v. Mariner, 5 Pennewill 571, 66 Atl. 99. Contra, the ruling in Etheridge v. Middleton, 1 Marv. 139, 40 Atl. 714. Carey v. Brinton, 6 Houst. 340, also referred to, seems inapplicable.
The exceptions are overruled and the judgment is affirmed-
