CCCXXVII. Owen Morgan's Case. Mich. 32 & 33 Eliz. In the Exchequer.
OWen Morgan Exhibited an Information upon the Statute of Usury, for an usurious Mortgage made; and charged the Defendant, That Cepit ultra 10 l. in Cl. for the forbearance for one year, and that was out of the Issues, Rents, and Profits which he took in Middlesex, of Lands in Glamorganshire in Wales Mort∣gaged to the Defendant.
Manwood, Chief Baron said, That one might take the Rents of Lands in Wales in the County of Middlesex, but a Man cannot take the Issues and Profits of the Lands, but where the Lands are: And Leak's Case was cited, Where an Information was brought for cutting down of Wood, and converting it into Coals: And Leak the Informer laid the cutting to be in the County where the Wood grew, but the Conversion of it into Coals in the County of Middlesex.
And Manwood said in the principal case, That the taking of the Issues and Profits ought to have been layed where the Land was. And such was the Opinion of the whole Court.
