A creditor dying during the dependence of a reduction upon the head of usury intented against him, it was questioned if this penal process could transmit against his Representatives; the Lords found, that the effect of usury being to annul the bond as a real exception, it was good against every person claiming upon the bond; and if good against the heir by way of exception, it must be good by way of action, being the same thing in a different form.—See Appendix.
