¶1"We are all of opiuion that the judgment of the circuit court in allowing the plaintiff interest was right; but, as a mistake was made in the calculation of $50 in favor of plaintiff, the judgment for $690 must be reduced that much. The judgment of the circuit court is, therefore, reversed, and a judgment will be directed to be ■entered here for $640 with interest.
