Summary

In Martin v. Silliman (53 N.Y. 615) the court held that if the plaintiff was entitled to a sum liquidated and certain, he had the right to the interest thereon; and the fact that the jury arbitrarily reduced his claim to the amount of the verdict did not, either in law or in equity, affect his right to interest upon the amount actually recovered.
