LAW INTELLIC7-ENCE-.

COURT. OF KING'S BENCH, An :IL 19.

MORGAN AND ANOTHER V. D. W. HARVEY

This ,was an action brpught bv the pi:au:tiffs, as
assignees of Messrs. Reynolds and Kendal, against
D. W. Harvey, Esq. lqe-candUlate for Colchester,
to recover certain penalties for usury.

Mr. PARK, for ihe'plaintiWs, stated the case.
Messrs. Kendal and Reynolds were tradesmen,
residing in the neighbourhood of WhitechaFiel,
and engaged in a lucrative concern previous to the
defendant offering himself-as a4aitdidate for Col-
. chester. Mr. Kendal had become acquainted with,
him, and had attached himself very Warmly to
his interests. He became Chairman ,of Mr.
Harvey's Committee, and expended conside-
rable sums in taking down. voters to Col-
chester, and otherwise forwarding the ;inte-
rests of Mr., Harvey's cause, so much so,
indeed, that soon afterwards he found he had
very mach embarrasse'd himself) and he• was.re-
duced to the.netessity of applying to Mr. Harvey
for assistance. The sum wanted was 15001: Mr.
Harvey said he had not the money, but world
borrow it for them, though if he did he must pay
15 per cent. for it. To these terms, hard as they
were, Mr. Kendal and his partner were obliged
to accede. Mr. Harvey was aware he could not
take this interest without disguise ; he therefore
made the following proposition : the Bankrupt
had at that time a lease-of \certain premises, for
which they paid 601. a year ground rent. This lease
was assigned to Mr. Harvey, and he granted them
a sub-lease at a rant of 2301. a year, a sum which
just covered the interest of the loan at 15 per cent.
and as collateral security he took their bond for
the principal, payable in five years. The sub-
lease was executed of the Bth of Jul'. On that
'clay the 15001. was to have Veen advanced ;! in-
stead of which, however,- only 10001. was paid in
cash, tbe'remaining 5001. was paid in two notes,
of 2501. each ; one of these was paid when due,
the other was not, but another bill given ; and
the advance of the whole suns was pot complete
till the Ifith of January. On the 21st of March
following, the first halt-year's interest on the
15001. amounting to 1121, 10s. was paid to Mr.
Harvey. Soon after, Messrs./Kendal and Rey-
nolds became bankrupts, and the Assigneescont-
ingto.a.knowledge of this transaction, brought
the 'present action..
These circumstances were proved in evidence.
Mr. lhavey pleaded his own case, and by
