One hundred and seventy-one, annas two and pies six (Rs. 171-2-6) arrived at according to the plaint, cancel the interest remaining as on 1st

October, 1937 and ""credit to the debt the balance of the part decree payment of Rupees Fifty-four, annas three and pies nine (Rs. 54-3-9) minus

Rupees Forty and annas eight (Rs. 40-8-0) due for costs and give to the plaintiff a decree for the balance with interest at 6 per cent, per annum

from 1st October, 1937. The petition is allowed with costs and the decree will be scaled down accordingly.
