Mississippi Judge Rules Against Usury in Major Building Loan Case
Judge Henry C. Niles of the U S federal court in Jackson Mississippi holds that the New South Building and Loan Association mortgage contract does not charge usurious interest, conflicting with Chief Justice Whitfield's Mississippi Supreme Court ruling in Sokoloski. The Manship decision potentially settles about 160 similar Mississippi suits involving over 100 000 dollars. If contract forms align with New Orleans firms, Georgia building and loan contracts may benefit.
