PARTIAL PAYMENTS.

248. When partial payments are made and endorsed upon Notes and Bonds, the rule for computing the interest adopted by the Supreme Court of the United States, is the following.

I. "The rule for casting interest, when partial payments have been made, is to apply the payment, in the first place, to the discharge of the interest then due.

II. If the payment exceeds the interest, the surplus goes towards discharging the principal, and the subsequent interest is to be computed on the balance of principal remaining due.

III. If the payment be less than the interest, the surplus of interest must not be taken to augment the principal ; but interest continues on the former principal until the period when the payments, taken together, exceed the interest due, and then the surplus is to be applied towards discharging the principal; and interest is to be computed on the balance, as aforesaid."

Note. The above rule is adopted by Massachusetts, New York, and the other States of the Union, with but few exceptions. It is given in the language of the distinguished Chancellor Kent.-Johnson's Chancery Reports, Vol. I. p. 17.

CONNECTICUT RULE.

ART. 249. "Compute the interest on the principal to the time of the first payment; if that be one year or more from the time the interest commenced, add it to the principal, and deduct the payment from the sum total. If there be after payments made, compute the interest on the balance due to the next payment, and then deduct the payment as above; and, in like manner, from one payment to another, till all the payments are absorbed; provided the time between one payment and another be one year or more. But if any payments be made before one year's interest hath accrued, then compute the interest on the principal sum due on the obligation, for one year, add it to the principal, and compute the interest on the sum paid, from the time it was paid up to the end of the year; add it to the sum paid, and deduct that sum from the principal and interest added as above.* "If any payments be made of a less sum than the interest arisen at the time of such payment, no interest is to be computed, but only on the principal sum for any period."—Kirby's Reports.

VERMONT RULE.

249.a. First find the amount of the given principal for the whole time; then find the amount of the several payments from the time they were endorsed to the time of settlement. Finally, subtract the amount of the several payments from the amount of the principal, and the remainder will be the sum due.

* If a year does not extend beyond the time of payment; but if it does, then find the amount of the principal remaining unpaid, up to the time of settlement, likewise the amount of the endorsements from the time they were paid to the time of settlement, and deduct the sum of these several amounts from the amount of the principal.
