1Opinion of the CourtMorphy, J.
This action is brought on two invoices of goods, shipped in New York to the defendants, who reside in this city. When the latter requested the plaintiff to forward the goods, it was stipulated that they should pay for them six months after the shipment should have been made in New York. Some partial payments having been shown on the trial, judgment was given below for the balance due on the amount of the two invoices, together with interest thereon at the rate of seven per cent per annum from the expiration of the credit agreed on. The defendants have appealed.
