¶1This deed is not usurious within the statute, for although 7 per cent, is expressed in the mortgage, and the mortgage was given in this state, where 6 per cent, is the lawful interest only; yet this is a security to pay the plaintiff only what he was lawfully bound to pay for said George in New York.
