1 Wright 112

Morgan v. England

Ohio Supreme Court

Decided September 15, 1832

Ohio Supreme Court · decided 1832-09-15

In Chancery. The complainant having purchased land of the United States, wanted to complete his payments for it, and not having sufficient money, applied to the defendant for a loan for that purpose.

Decided 1832-09-15

BY THE COURT.

¶1Usurious contracts have never been rendered void in Ohio; the authorities cited are applicable to contracts made void by the usury laws of other countries, and have no application here. But if otherwise, the matter set up in the bill might have availed the party at law, if the law made the contract void, as contended. Having neglected to make the defence there, he cannot, without excuse, come here to set it up.

¶2The bill is dismissed.
