THE POSITION SUSTAINED.

The case was argued some weeks ago, and
Judge Speer has rendered a decision sus-
tanning the above position. Hundreds
of similar judgments have been taken
throughout this section, and the decision
will probably give rise TO extensive htiga-
ton. In Thomas case the amount borrowed
was $780, of which the borrower received
$4,000, giving yearly notes bearing per
cent. for the full amount. In a similar case
Judge Speer has held heretofore that usuri-
GUS contracts could not be enforced, and
thai only the principal could be collected.
