ne, for fire, pro -
of $4,250 which Voorhies had paid, re-
taining 01,250 for himself. The re-
maining $850 was paid to Wheaton's
counsel for examining the title. The
Court upon the trial gave judgment for
the plaintiff. The General Term of
the Supreme Court, upon appeal, re-
versed the judgment. Judge Ingall.s,
who delivered the opiuion, says:
"In the light of the facts narrated by
the plaintiff himself we perceive no
escape from the conclusion that he was
not only aware of the desire on the
par t• of Willett to secure to him this
bonus, but actually favored and en-
couraged it, and finally pocketed. the -
larger share of the money. We are
unable to regard. this transaction in
any other light than a clear and de-
liberate violation of the statute against
usury. Rega,rding the consequences
which must ensue to the plaintiff from
holding this loan usurious, we entered
upon the examination of the case, hop-
ing to discover some ground upon which
the judgment could. be sustained with-
out going counter to our honest convic-
tions in regard to what the facts and.
the law applicable thereto demanded,
but we have been unsuccessful."
Wheaton, therefore, by accepting #2,-
