The case of Lathrop v. Commercial Bank of Scioto, 8 Dana 114, determines the material question involved in this case. It is there said, “Nor is there any statute of Kentucky disabling the Bank of Scioto to collect, or to secure by contract here, its debt due under a contract made in Ohio.” The statute in relation to the loan of money by corporations created in another state has no application to this case, as the contract and loan was made in the state where the corporation was created. No loan was made in Kentucky, nor was any part of the contract to be performed here. The judgment must be reversed, moreover, because there is no description of the land in the judgment. It would be proper, unless Watson has been assigned a part of the bank debt since the institution of this action, to make him a party defendant. The judgment is reversed and cause remanded for further proceedings consistent with the opinion. ■
