In Brown v. Van Braam, the Supreme Court affirmed a Circuit Court judgment from Rhode Island, holding that the lower court's decision was proper under Rhode Island law and practice. The Court ruled that interest on the judgment should be calculated only to the date of the affirmance, not extended to a future term, since the defendant had the right to pay the debt immediately.
