Per Curiam.

From the affidavits which have been read, it appears that the bond was usurious; but the court are not to judge of the credibility of witnesses. As. there is color, at least, for the allegation of usury, the proper course is to award a feigned issue to try the fact. ' (Barnes, 52, 277. Cowp. 727. 1 Bos. & Pull. 270.) Let a feigned issue be awarded.(a)

(a) 3 Johns. Rep. 139, 142, 250. See Kelly on Usury, ed. 1835, p. 82; Ord'on Usury, ed. 1809, p. 95.
