Craven, Englishman, lent the sum of £.30 Sterling to one Wilson, who gave his obligation to pay the sum of £.50 Sterling, and, upon the back of the said obligation, it was provided, that the condition of the obligation was, that in case Wilson paid betwixt and such a day the sum of £.30 Sterling, the obligation should be null. The day being expired, Craven pursued for the hail sum. Wilson alleged the obligation to be null and usurary, in so far as it exceeded the sum contained in the back-bond, and the rest was enormous and exorbitant profit, and could not be sustained. The Lords repelled the allegeance, and decerned for the hail sum, conform to the obligation.
