Ohio Supreme Court, 1832

Morgan v. England

Morgan v. England
Ohio Supreme Court · Decided September 15, 1832
1 Wright 112; 1 Ohio Ch. 112

Morgan v. England

Opinion of the Court

BY THE COURT.

Usurious contracts have never been rendered void in Ohio; the authorities cited are applicable to contracts made void by the usury laws of other countries, and have no application here. But if otherwise, the matter set up in the bill might have availed the party at law, if the law made the contract void, as contended. Having neglected to make the defence there, he cannot, without excuse, come here to set it up.

The bill is dismissed.
