BAKER v. MOORE

When, in entering up a verdict, a mistake is made in computing interest, and judgment is entered up for less than the plaintiff is entitled to, but such mistake is not discovered until the next session of the court, leave to amend must be refused; for there is nothing to amend by, and to alter it would be to make a new verdict for the jury.

PER CURIAM.

This is a motion to amend the verdict after judgment, and where there is nothing to amend by. We recollect no precedent of such a case. To permit it here would be to make a new verdict for the jury.

Motion overruled.

NOTE. — See Dunn v. Batchelor, 20 N.C. 52.
