Debt by Starr against Laws and another, on a note for 73 dollars. Plea, the general issue. Trial by the Court, and finding and judgment for the defendant.

It seems that Starr held a note of 1000 dollars against Laws, on which there were 730 dollars still unpaid and on interest. Being unable to pay the note at maturity, Laws went with Starr to one Snyder; to whom the note was sold at a “shave,” as the, parties called it, of 10 per cent. By this arrangement Snyder was to have an extension of the time of payment one year, and stand the “ shave ” to which Starr had submitted in the sale of the note. To make up the 10 per cent, to Starr, the note now in suit was given, and being in form a due bill, it drew interest from date.

It is settled that usury may be given in evidence under *193the general issue. Cohee v. Cooper, 8 Blackf. 115. The only question raised is, whether this note is usurious. On that point there seems no room for doubt. The whole consideration of the one note was usurious interest reserved for forbearance on the other. The note for 730 dollars was drawing 6 per cent, interest; the note now sued on was composed entirely of the additional 10 per cent, for the forbearance of one year on the large note. Besides, the note in suit was itself bearing interest from date. The interest thus reserved, directly and indirectly, for the forbearance on the large note, was over 16 per cent. The taint of usury going to the entire contract, so far as the note in suit is concerned, it cannot be enforced.

The judgment is affirmed, with costs.
