One of the grounds, taken here, to reverse the judgment, is, that an Attorney has not nor can he
One of the grounds of the motion to dismiss the writ of certiorari, is, that the appellant, while seeking, has not offered to do equity, that while claiming the interposition of the Court against the judgment on account of usury in the transaction, he has not offered to pay the amount of the principal which he has acknowledged to be due. How, although, as a general rule, it be necessary only to allege grounds of error to obtain a writ of certiorari, yet in cases accompanied with circumstances of the like character with those marking these cases, it would seem to be necessary that the petitioner should go further, and should offer to perform the equity which he claims from the other party. He has, in effect, confessed the judgment below. In this state of the case, he cannot well claim the interposition of the Court against the judgment, on the score of usury in the original transaction, unless he should offer to pay what was really due.
Judgment affirmed.
