““To constitute a loan usury, it is necessary that there should be an agreement betwen the parties for the lender to take a greater profit by way of discount or interest on the amount loaned than after the rate of six dollars for the forbearance of one hundred dollars for one year. It signifies not In what shape the agreed profit upon the money lent is to accrue. It is sufficient that such profit should exceed the legal rate in order to bring the transact ion within the statute. It is also wholly unimportant in what form, by what device, or under, what pretense this reservation of unlawful profit be made, if, according to tlie agreement of the parties, it Is designed as a profit upon the sum advanced.””
