Georgia Circuit Court Rules Usury Voids Deeds and Mortgages
In Macon last week Judge Speer instructed a jury in J O Sherwood v Rebecca Roundtree, signaling a far reaching decision on usury where lenders via Corbin Banking Co charged 43 percent interest. The ruling implies voiding deeds and mortgages securing such debt and shifts onus to lenders and borrowers. The decision could affect numerous Georgia landowner cases with similar loan structures. Meanwhile river traffic notes cite Steamer Milton H Smith stuck on a sand bar above Eufaula awaiting river rise, and Thronateeska and Aid operating on local routes amid low water.
