SUPREME COURT SYLLABL ints Covered by Declsions of the Tribunal at Lincoln Last week the supreme court rendered opinions in cases of which the syllabl are here given: Exeter National bank against Orchard. Appeal from Fillmore county. Affirmed. Opinion by Mr. Commissioner Irvine. W & Co. rivate bank, lent money to O upon an agreement for the payment of usury. The business was condicted be- tween O and W, one of the partners in the firm of W & Co. A note was made to the or of W and a conveyance of land abso- lute in form made to W "to secure the loan. The note was rencwed at frequent intervals, usurious interest being paid upon each re- newal. Some months after the loan was made the Exeter National bank was incor- porated and succeeded to the business and assets of W & Co., W becoming its cashier. The note continued to be renewed to the order of W for some years, but order of the finally was renewed to the Exeter National bank. O at the inception of the transaction did not know that the money lent to him was that of W & Co., and | there was no evidence to show that at any particular time he had learned of the fact or of the fact that renewal notes belonged to the national bauk until the first note was made directly to the bank. Held, that in an action by the national bank to foreclose the mortgage O was entitled to have all the payments of interest applied as payments fpon the principal and that as these pay- ments, at the time when the first note was made ' directly to the bank, amounted to more than the original debt, those notes were, without consideration and the bank not being a bona fide holder cotild not recover. 2. It seems that the remedies given by the federal statutes for usury exacted by national banks are exclusive, but that prin- ciple does not prevent a debtor under the circumstances stated in the foregoing para- graph from availing himself of any defenses to which he is entitled under the state law and which acerued before he was aware that the debt was owing to the bank. 3. Where a loan is originally usurious the defense of usury applies to all renewals and when action is brought upon any note, no matter how remote, the court will apply all payments of interest upon such usurious loan as payments pro tanto of the principal. 4. Such application is made not by way of set-off or countér claim, but by way of pay- ment, and the statute of limitations does not bar such a defense. 5. After the notes came to be made directly to the bank, O brought sult against the bank and recovered judgment under the federal statutes for payments of usury made after the bank became the ostensible creditor. Held, That that action did not estop O from pleading usury in the earlier transactions with W and having those payments applied as payments upon the principal. 6. Nor was the making of renewal notes directly to the bank and the payment of in- terest thereon such a recognition of the existence of an indebtedness as would estop O from pleading the prior usury and payment by reason thereof. Jensen et al against Lewis Investment company. Appeal from Douglas county. Afirmed. Opinion by Mr. Chiel Justice Norval. The evidence in the case examined and considered, and held to sustain the finding of the trial court that S was the lender’s agent in negotiating the loan and not the borrower's, and that the loss resulting from the failure of S to pay over the money to the borrower, dellvered to him for that pur- pose by the iender, falls on the latter. McGillen against’ Chase county et al. Error from Chase county. Affirmed. Opinion by Mr. Justice Harrison. The plaintift filed & petitjon praying for an injunction to restrain a county and its officers from the forcible collection of a tax against personal property, averring as grounds therefor that the tax was illegal or unauthorized. The evidence discloses that he listed the property for taxation, the sched- ule on its face being a list of his individual property signed by him and sworn to in- dividually and not as manager for a com- pany, for whom he alleges in his bill for in- junetion that he listed the property and to whom he stated it belonged. The taxes belng charged to him in tho tax lists as transeribed from the assessor’s book. Held, that this was not such a state of fa would entitle him to have the collection of the taxes enjoined or restrained as illegal or unauthorized, as such entry or charge on the tax list was the result or consequence of his own voluntary act. Larson against Dickey et al Douglas county. Reversed o Opinion by Commissioner Ragan. The legislature has the power to make a tax deed prima facle evidence that every requirement of the law necessary to its valldity has been complied with. 2. The legislature has the power to make a tax deed conclusive evidence of compli- ance with all the' requirements of the law, which are merely directory, and which per- tain to the regulation or manner of the exer- clse of the taxing power, and which require- ments it might in the exercise of its discre- tlon dispense with entirely. 3. The legislature has no power to make a tax deed conclusive evidence of any jurls- dictional fact, or fact vital to the exercise of the power of taxation or sale, divesting the Appeal from remanded. titlo of the citizen's property for nonpay- ment of taxes 4. The constitution of this state has not comMitted to the legislature the power of conslusively determining what facts are jur- isdictional or vital to the exercise of the power of taxation or sale, divesting the title of the citizen's property for nonpay- ment of taxes; such determination belongs to the judiclary. 5. There Is no such thing as a county treasurer’s official seal of office provided for or recognized by the laws of this state, and, until the legislature shall provide an official seal for county treasurers, no tax deed of any validity can be executed under the pres- ent revenue laws. 6. The legislature has no power to make tax deed conclusive evidence that the grantee named thereln was the purchaser or assignee of the purchaser at the sale for taxes on which sald deed Is predicated.

The bitjer controversy between Bishop Bonacum and Father Corbett has taken an- other phase and it Is now announced that the bishop has proceeded to the extreme of formally excommunicating the priest with whom he has had so much trouble. After the culmination of the trouble between the bishop and the priest, when the latter had the former arrested and tried on the charge of criminal libel before a civil court, Father Corbett announced that he would continue to serve his parish at Palmyra, the bishop's suspension to the contrary notwithstanding. Matters drifted along in this uncertain con- dition for several weeks until it is now an- nounced that the bishop has excommunicated Father Corbett, prohibiting him from partici- pation in the eucharist for three years and sentencing him (o a penance of three years in a Canadian monastery at Montreal. Father Corbett has declined to recognize the sen- tence of excommunication and still insists that he Is the priest of the parish at Pal- myra.
