In September and November 1926 promissory notes were 'given for £14 and, £7 respectively. The two defendants and a Mrs. Keeble signed the first note and divided equally £10 they actually received: Mrs. Fromant and Mrs. Ferguson signed the second and divided the £5 advanced on it. They had paid back £6 58.

Sir. Alfred said to the money- lenders' clerk, Mr. Harold Sample, that 2,400 per cent. "seems a little excessive, even for Westminster." Mr. Sample: It sounds very excessive, but we have not im- posed the default clause.
