Important to Building Associations.

The case of Emily Y. Simpson and
her husband, John A. Simpson,
against the Washington Fire Insur-
ance Company, came before Judge
Duffy last week in the Circuit Court
of Baltimore city, on exceptions to the
auditors account.
On February IL, 1878, Mrs. Simpson
borrowed 81, 200 from the company,
to be repaid in ten years in $50 week
ly installments of $370 each. The
loan was secured by a mortgage on
property on South Eden street, Bal
timore. Mrs. Simpson executed re-
lease of any claim for usury under the
laws or judicial decision After hav-
ing paid $1,1O5.57 she demanded the
release of the mortgage on the ground
that she had repaid the loan with 6
per cent, the legal interest. The
company claimed 1894 and refused
to release. The auditors account
put the interest at $lO3, within the
amount paid, and the Court ratified
it, releasing the mortgage. Judge
Duffy, in deciding the matter said:
The usury laws cannot be set aside
by waiver by borrower. The
laws were made for the community
and cannot be waived any more than
any other statute. / have nothing
to say as to the propriety of usury
laws, but as long as they exist they
