By the •Court,
Dickinson, J. In regard to the plea of usury, it constitutes no defence, in this instance, as the act of 3d March, 1838, authorizes the defendant in error to charge the same rate of interest as the Bank of the State; and the interest, in this case, was calculated ■according to the provisions of that act. The judgment upon the demurrer was, therefore, right. The Bank, being a public corporation, was not required to be proved; as the court was bound judicially to take notice of it. It was not necessary to prove demand at the place of payment, as has been ruled by the court, in the case of Summer vs. Ford.
Judgment affirmed.
