13302.
    Tennille Banking Co. v. Quinn et al.
    
    Decided August 17, 1923.
    Complaint; from city court of Sandersville — Judge Goodwin. January 28, 1922.
    Usury having been pleaded to an action on a promissory note executed in 1921, and the plaintiff having admitted the usury, no interest was included in the judgment rendered against the defendants, and it was adjudged therein that “on account of the usury conceded in the contract, this judgment does not bear interest.” To this latter part of the judgment the plaintiff excepted, and the question whether, under the act of 1916 providing for forfeiture of usurious interest (Ga. L. 1916, p. 48), such a judgment bears interest was submitted by the Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court. The answer was in the negative.
    
      H. W. Jordan, for plaintiff. Evans & Evans, for defendants.
   Stephens, J.

This case is controlled by the answer of the Supreme Court to a certified question propounded by this court. 156 Ga. 159 (118 S. E. 644). Judgment affirmed.

Jenkins, P. J., and Bell, J., concur.
