The loan ran for 41⁄2 years dur- ing which Kartar Singh received various payments by way of inter- est or otherwise, totalling (as he himself admits) $2,860, and a fur- ther sum of $360 was paid by the debtor by instalments in respect of the judgment debts. Thus, by October, 1935, when the original debt became merged in judgment debts, Kartar Singh had received from the debtor a sum of just over $1,000 more than the amount of the loan, in other words he had got back his capital with interest thereon amounting to about 18 per cent. per annum.
