CourtMississippi Supreme Court

Ethridge & Minniece, Dunn & Singley, William Neville, Meridian, for appellant.

M. V. B. Miller, Gerald Adams, Meridian, for appellee.

LEE, Justice.

This cause was affirmed on February 15, 1954. A decree was entered in the amount of $2,942.75, which included alimony, attorneys' fees below, interest, damages, and attorneys' fees here--all lawful demands accrued to that time. The suggestion of error was thereafter overruled on March 15.

The motion seeks to correct the mandate so as to include monthly installments of alimony, accruing since the date of the decree, together with interest thereon.

The proper mandate issued. While it did not expressly provide for the payment of interest since the date of rendition of the decree, that follows as a matter of law. Section 39, Code of 1942. Monthly installments of alimony accruing subsequent to the decree here are enforceable by the trial court in conformity to the terms of its decree.

Motion overruled.

McGEHEE, C. J., and HALL, KYLE and HOLMES, JJ., concur.
