—
The cases of Hollingsworth v. Swickard, 10 Iowa, 385; Frost v. Shaw, Id., 491; and Powell v.

Complainant was in no condition to object to the alleged usury in the original contract between his grantor and the respondent. And see further upon this subject, Stephens v. Minor, 8 Ind., 352; Campbell v. Johnston, 4 Dana, 177.
Keversed.
