THE USURY LAWS. @ptmten of Chief Justice Tancy on Usury and Usurious Loans. GIROVIT COURT U. 8-—MAKYLAND DISTRICT, November Term, 1854. Dill v9, Elliectis—This section is brought by the endersee of a bill of exchange drawn npon the de- fendarts and sovepted by them, for $1,000. Fi "Fhe defendants plead that the bill was given to wecure the payment of money loane: by the plalotiff to the payee of tue bill, upon wisich an interest, ex- ceeding six per cent, was reserved, and that such @ontract was usurious, aud the plaintiff not entitled maintain an action upoa &. To this plea the tiff demurred, sud the question submitted to eourt on these pleadings 1, whether under the @opstitution of Maryland, adopted in 1851, an action ean be msintained upon a contract for the loan of money where an interest of mere thsn six per cous in reserved or received. = clause of the constitution is in the following wor That the rate of interest in the State shall not exceed shy per cent per annum, amd uo higher rate shall be taken or demanded, ane the Legislature shal! provide by Jaw all necessary’ forfeitures and penaltica against usery. der we ot “Legislative Deparsmeat,” the third article of the Declaration of Rixots, ay! | gets off Assembly in force on the first Monday im | palty, therefore, is no argument in support of Movember, 1850, }w»ish bad uot expired at the | action. Bot in this case, these is something more of the constitution, and vere not altered | than the absence of penalties and forfeitares. It ia by , were -ontinued im force, aubjet nevertheless | made the duty of the Legisiature to ipflict them, the revision of an amendment and repeal by the | ané the probibitory cianse of the constitution must | Kegislature of the State. ‘The acts of assembly material to this question, whieh were passed previous to the adoption of the @enstitution, were acts of 1704 and 1845. The fest section of the not of 1704 declared that n> per- gon should exact or take above the rate of six per @ent per annum y the loan of any moneys, gvod- or nm rchandise, or other com noditiea, to bs peoid in money; the section duclared that all by which e higher rate of interest was re- oeived stould be void; and the third section inflict- © penalties for takiog or receiving more than tie we'+ of interest Iimite: wider act. The provisions this law were materially changed by the act of 415. B) thie act the ieuder waa entitled to re- cover the amount actualiy loaned with six per cent tote: @-8 upon it, although the cuntract was usurious ana stipuiated fora higher intereat, aod it repealed Bios! the thiré section of the ast of 1704, ‘The act of 1845 waa still in force waen the Con- miintiun *28 adopted, aod the polat im issue be- tween the parties, uon the demurrer is, whether the provisions of this act are inconsistent with the sion before recited, and there- fore repealed by it. In determining this question, the wiedom or poiicy of usuary laws Js not a subject for the codons vig _ ati ge aon a qmestion for peop le of Maryiand, when ti adopted the Constitatian: and it is the duty of the court te carry into effect the provisions of that in- | strument according to its true intent, to bs gathered | from its own werds; and referring to the previous | pation of the State, only so far as it may cou- | to illustrate the meaning of doubtfal or am- | le art language, if any such be found in the con- tions, ard to ascertain what previous acts of Assembly are still in force. It wouid be difficult, we think, to raize a doubt as to the meaning of the pro- { hibitory part of the xecuon of which we are speak- img. It ce that the rate of interest shal not excecd six oe cent per sonum, and no higher rate shall taken or demanded.” These words are {free fiem all ambigaity. They | ibit in plain, positive, aud dire t terms, the tan- g or dewanding more than six per : ent interest, gad en this point it refere nothing to farure legis'a- ton, The constitution itself makes the prohibision and all tuture legislations must be subordiaate and eonformable to this provision; and wroever takes oy demands more than six percent while the con- atitation is in force, does au uniswiul act—an act forbidden by the constitution of the St Nor do the words which follow qualify or rest:ain in any @egree the meaning of tue words above quoted. declare that ‘the Legislatare shall pbvide by all necessary forfeitures and penalties against usury.” Now, usury consists in taking an interest for morey above that allowed by law. Tae takin, ef more than six per cent is,therefore, usury; an: ‘the words iast quoted treat it as an offynve, and di- rect the Legislature to punish it with penalties and | forfeitures. The words do not Hesahes th the power to puvish—they are mandatory, and make it the | @aty of the Legislature to punish disobedience to that provision by forfeitures and penalties. Cer- , tainiy, ifjthe tsking or demanding of more thau | wx per cert was bot intended to be absolutely pro- | Mibited by the precediog part of the section, there would be no propristy in commancing it tobe far. Wished; the words last quoted, there'ere, do no: ahy cr reacriet toe ee, of the preced- | entire thing, and consequently te altogether valii This provision is contained in art. 3, sec. 49, un- | or yoid, sud it would be couteary to the duty of a and by | court of justice to astist a party in consummating ao | deaided the one in favor of the defendant mast de- cide the other in like manner, 1+ will be observed, alao, that the opinion we have quoted poizts out clearly the distisction between a | Statute merely forbidding am act to be done, and ore imposing a forfeiture or penalty for doing it, and ie in effect am anewer to thst part of ths ax Tangement onthe part of the plaittitf, which retie? on the Jast‘words of the section of the Foasetatioa requiring the Legislature to impose forfeisures aud penalties egains: usury. The absence of any » (say the Supreme Court) doce not give right te maintain an action on she contr: jaw forbids the contract to be msde. Ant son of tre snle thus laid down is that the contract Deing forbidden, the party can Acquire no legal j rights under it, and, consequently, canat msinwain ap action in a cours of jastice to enforce it, His in- capacity to waintain an action apon it is no for- | feiture or penalty, for be asquires po rights ander it, and therefore there is notaing to forfeit. The movey be kane is net fortsited, for if be chooses to rely upon aad rp of tbe borrower and the bor- | rower reyays him the’money, he may lawfully keep | it. It i6 wot forfeited to tae State or te any one else. But a court of justice cannot tend its aid to | Tecover it, because the contract fer the loan is one act which the law forbids. The absence of any pe- be copstrued now in the ssme manne, and have the sswe effect, aa if the Legisiature bad performed | the duty enjoined upon it, It is true no pen- | alty or forteiture ia in-urred unwi the Legiela- tore shal) prescribe it. But when that Guty shall have been p:rformed, (be the penalty more or less,) Bobedy, we presume, would contend that ap action cud still be maintamed on the contract npon pay- mnt ot the penalty. Andthe act of vo faturele j:lation cen alter the mesuing of the words ased ip he constitution. They remain tre same, and mnet alwas be ccnstrued aud sdmintatered ia conyts of justice ac ording to theirfegal import, as they stend iv that instrameot, whether future legis- Jaturea do or do not obey its mandates, and pasa Jawe to enforce its preven It follows from what we heve saii that the first our sect:ona of te act of 1845 are no kpger ip. foree. These sections made ® ururious contract legal for tha amount actually lounec,#nd suth »izes the lender to recover the amcunt with six p nt interest. I makesii veid only ec far se the u-urious interest is coarerned, and necesaary consequence of this provision, it repealed expressly the third section of the act of 1704. The act of 1845 does not, therefore, probibit the uenrious contract, but sanctions and sup- porte it to the extert above mentioned. The con- stitution, on the cont ary, by the prohibi‘ing words used in it, mekes the whole contract illegal, and thereby incapacitates the party from maintaining a svit upon it for the movey be ac:naily loaned, or apy part of it; and moreover, treats the taking or | demaiding more than six jer cent as an offence, | and commands the Legislature to provide panalties | ard forfeitures agaivat it. The provis‘ons of this | act of Assembly, ani those contained in t'e conati- | tution, are consequently inconsistent wit) each | other, ana the former is repealed. [n resation to | the act of 1704 the plairtiff claims nuthing under it. But inasmuch as the firet section of thatat, like the constitution, prebibits the taking of more than six per cent, and the second section contains ap express provision making void the con- | tract where more is taker, the plaintiff con- tends that the omirsion of the second provision in the constitution proves that i was not io- tended to make void the contract, but to leave it | ag provided for and Jegalized by the act of 1845. Bat it is evident that the second section in the act of 1704, like rimilur provisions ia the English atat- ufee, against usury, was introcuced to remove any donbt which migh* be raised upon the words “ exact | or take,” and to show that t-e prohibition was in- | tended to apply to contracts in which usurious ja- | terest was reserved to be ped at @ futare day, ag | well ae to cases in which $: was 2 tually exacted | and taker, or received at the time of the loan. They are introduced for greater cautions and to prevent | nice distinctions upon the words uscd. ‘This is con. | { | stavtiy done in acts of legislation, ard the omi-sion in tLe constitation cf a previrien of thie description, contaired ip a previous ack of rain & would | hardly justify the court in inferring that it was in- | tenved to antherize an action on a contract which | tie constitution itself prohibited. In expounding | sx instr: ment fo solemn and deliberate as a | constitution containing the fundamental lew of the State, we ate herdly at liberty to sappose | that either those who tramed it, or thos: who adopted it, itended to recognive or sinction tbe principle that au action might be moainteined upon A coufract to de an sct which the law torbade, On words, On the contrary, they show that the fe.wers of the constitution, sfter fixing the am ynt ‘of i terest which a party migh* lawfully take or de- mand, proceed ‘o make tiat provision more eff3c'ual by requiring the Legislature t» enforce it, and to inGict forfeitures and penalties upon any one who should thereafter take or demaod an amonnt of in- ‘Ye.est exceeding that prescribsd by the consti: :tion ‘This brig tue evident meanivg of the languaze of this section, cau a contract, by which a higher fvereet is taken or demanded, be enforce) in a eonrt of justice? It 1s trne the constitaxion ave: | Bo: say, io expresa te:ms, that such a contract shall be void. Nor was such 8 provision necessary ta in- walidate it; for itis weil settled, by a mu'titude of @cieions in tis country and in England, thata eontract to do an act forbidden b/ lam is void asd feanuet be enfo-ced in a court of justice. We do not atop at present to sefer to judicial decisions to sup the contrsry. acompariron between the lengnage of the act of 1704 ard the Oonstitution tends strongl7 to suppert the construction we bave given to the ‘etter. The probibition in the act of Assembly is to “exact or take,” and the second section, as we have suid, was introduced for greater caution, in order to show more clearly that, while the pena'tiea by thet Jaw were confined to the actual receiving, the orce D bition «extended farther, and embraced contracts in which uevr'oos interest was received, although poyable at a future time. ! But the Constitution docs not use the probibitory words of the lst sect ov, but provides that -ro | higher rate shall he “ taken or demonded.” Now | these words clearly embrace a contract by which | urmicue interest ie to be pe ata future cay, a3 well | as contracts in which it is taken and rece'ved.

M. ‘The stock market took one of those lurches downward this morning, which have been so frequent during the past few weeks, At the first board Ohio 6s fell off \ per cent; Virginia 6's, 2; Erie Income bonds, %: Winois Central bonds, 3; New York Central bonds,’s4 ; Nicaragua Transit, § ; Pennsylvania Coal Co., 3 ; Cumberland,Coal, 3; ; Harlem, % ; Stonington Railroad, 1; Reading Railroad, 1. The three leading fan Hudson, Erie, ana Central, went down to-day with » rush, The sustaining power appears to have been suddenly withdrawn, and prices left to find 4 rest- ing place as they best could, New York Central Railroad declined 334 per cent ; Hudson River Railroad, 434 ; and Erie Railroad, 2, with large sales at these depreciations. ‘These enormous fluctuations in priees show how weak the stock market is, and also show that any advance must be temporary until we have settled down upon Detier timcn, It is useless to talk about low prices, or to argue about the great reduction below intrinsic values. The real worth of a stock security, or any other species of property, ix at present of no avail, if necessary to realize, When we see Virginia and Missouri Sixes selling at 81a 85 per cent, we mst expect fancy stocks will rule at pretty low points. The recent rise in railroad stocks was cnused by large purchases, made on account of the bears for delivery, and as soon as they had eupplied themselves, and that support of the mar- ket was withdrawn, down it tumbled again to about the starting points. It is somewhat surprising that some of the fancies are able to hold current rates. We allude particularly to the New York Central. The principal cause given is the small quantity of stock afloat on the market. This cannot jast long. As the stock falls off new lot will come out, and ultimately it will be more abundent than any other fancy on the list, for it has a stock capital equal in amount to any half dozen of our largest railroads combined. The value ef merchandise, &e., exported from this port during the month of November im each of the past two years, was as annexed :— Comuence oF THE Port OF New YORK—VAuvE oF Exports, Noremter. 1853 1854.

This sbows that our foreign trade has been contracted without actually benefitting us much in the result. The steamship Star of the West arrived at this port this afternoon from Nicaragua, with eight days later in- ‘telligence from California. She has on freight $757,000 in gold%und gold dust, Of this amount Adams & Co. have in charge $208,694. The commercial aecounts by this steamer are not so favorable as those received by pre- yious arrivals, Reports from the mines continue good. At the second board, the market was ali down. Illinois Central fell off 34 per cent; New York Central Railroad 33; Cumberland Coal Co. 7<; New York Central Railroad 3; Harlem Railroad }{; Erie Railroad 3; Reading Rail- road \. The balance in the Sub Treasury at the close of busi- ners to-day amounted to $6,660,717 G1. ‘The rumors relative to the suspension of an extensive house in Albany engaged in the iron trade,and largely con- nected with railroads, thegtocks of which have depreciat. ed enormourly lately, gained much eredit to-day, and created quite an excitement, In times like these nothing appears surprising, and the most unexpected announce- mente are received with the greatcst indifference. After what has occurred during the past six months nothing short of ancarihquake can startle this community mach, Several of the heaviest companies engaged im the fren business in Pennsylvania have zecently failed, “We regret to learn,” says the Columbia (Pa.) Spy, “of the suspension avd failure of many of the heavy companies engaged in the iron business in this State. Some of those regarded as the most stable have cone, and the indications are that we are now but ia the be- ginning of one of the greatest financial crises ever known in this country,” ’ The Newark Daily Advertiser says that it is expected that the notes of the Merchants’ Bank of Bridgeton will be worth about ninety cents on the dollar. ‘The notes of the Wheat Growers’ Bank, one of the free banks of New Jezsey, located at Newton, Sussex county, are thrown out by the brokers. The Atalanta (Ga.) Intelligencer states that the Chero. \ce Insurance Pank of Dalton, in that State, bad failed to redcem its notes. It had recently commenced opera- tions, and h&d probably only a limited circulation of its notes. A tclegraphic despatch from Washington states that Messrs. Sellen, Withers & Co: have made an assignms: § for the benefit of their creditors, their effects going into the bands of John A. English and William Bayne, as trustees. Theeshibits of assets are largely over the} § bilities. The terms of the deed of trust are that the now holders shall be, first paid. ‘The annexed statement of the Treasurer of the United States willehow the amount on deposit and subject to érait in the several depositaries of the United States, oa the 27th of November:— Scnvivs ReveNcs oF Tire Uxrreo StarEs. a wljansede * on deposit; ject to ra.
