Straight, J.@mdashThe question as to the amount of interest to be allowed to the plaintiff, subsequent to the expiration of the four years for which
the bond was given, has been properly treated by the lower Appellate Court as one of damages. Upon consideration we think that, having regard
to the length of time, that has elapsed since the bond ran out, to the date on which this suit was instituted, the sum decreed by the Subordinate
Judge is equitable and his decision must stand. But for the plaintiff''s laches we should have thought the amount agreed by the defendant to be paid
under the bond was a reasonable basis on which to estimate the subsequent damages (see also Baldeo Panday v. Gokal Rai ILR I All. 603. The
appeal is dismissed, but each party must pay his own costs.
