1 N.C. 211
King v. Hill

Opinion of the Court

Seawelx, J*

This being a case where the Jury decided against the weight of evidence, not of a flagrant violation of duty, but where there may, reasonably, be a difference of opinion amongst honest men ; and it being quite certain that they have done justice, this Court feels it unsafe to interpose, upon the bare probability that the contract was usurious*

Hall, J. Lowrie, J, and Daniel, J. concurred» Ruffin, J. dissented.
