There must be a clear case of accident, surprise or fraud, before equity will interfere... a defendant sued at law on a contract alleged to be usurious, will not be entitled to a bill of discovery, if he suffers a verdict and judgment to be taken against him; and especially when he does so without making a defence at law.
