Bennett v. Hadsell

The evidence in this case shows clearly that Hadsell agreed to pay C. H. Bennett $100 for his services in getting the money for which the mortgage was given. C. H. Bennett advanced the money himself, the mortgage was given to him, and he retained $100 of the $800, for which the mortgage was given. This is usury. The assignee, even without notice of the usury, takes subject to that defence.

Let there bé a decree for $700, without interest or costs.
