Evans v. National Bank of Savannah
Supreme Court of the United States
certiorari to the court of appeals op the state OF GEORGIA. The case is stated in the opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice McReynolds
The court below rightly construed the pleadings as presenting only one substantial federal question:- — Did respondent subject itself to the penalties prescribed for' taking usury by discounting short-time notes in the ordinary course of business and charging therefor at the rate of eight per centum per annum in advance? And we think it correctly answered that question in the negative.
Respondent is a national bank. Its powers in respect of discounts, whether transactions by it are usurious and the consequent penalties therefor, must be ascertained upon a consideration of the National Bank…
Also in this document: Dissent.
