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.
