PEQUABUCk MAN IS
 HIS OWN ATTORNEY
Claims Contract With Loan Cor.
 poration Is Illegal, Void
Especial to the Herald)


 Bristol. March 21.-Acting as his own lawyer and claiming that the contract which he signed with the Guardian Thrift & Loan Corp. of this city was illegal and therefore void, George N. Bushnell of Pequa- buck is fighting his case in the court of common pleas on the grounds that the terms of the com pany's loans are contrary to state statutes.
 -- Mir. Bushnell borrowed $500 from the company on August [, 1929. and the contract he signed called for him to repay this sum at the rate of s15 month beginning month from the date of the contract. He made the first payment. with interest. and on October g paid another s10 in- terest but nothing on the principal. On November % the Guardian corporation brought suit through At torney $. Russell Mink. claiming S3o0 damages as a result of non- payment of the installment and con- sequent voiding of the contract. The dtiCiudilt . pioptitS NdS dttdeHeu' and the plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. This has just i been denied.
 Mr. Bushnell asserts that the con- tract he was induced to sign is con- trary to law, since, he maintains, it calls for compromising of interest and for interest payments to be made in advance. He further al leGes that his property should not have been attached, as the note called for no security. For these reasons he claims the suit has been brought against him falsely. and he is asking cancellation of the con- tract and the award of 5000 damages.
