If a contract to pay money is broken, the measure of damages is the interest upon such amount due and payable.1 For breach of a contract to send money by telegraph, the measure of damages is the interest upon such amount for such delay, and actual expense made necessary by such breach.2 In the absence of special circumstances, the measure of damages in case of breach of a contract to make a loan is the difference between the rate of interest which the borrower actually had to pay and the rate of interest which he was to pay under the contract.3
