No. 20,960.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAbstract of the Decision.\nUsury, \u00a7 56 \u2014when evidence insufficient to establish usury, in a bill to foreclose a trust deed, a finding by the master that the 'loan secured by the trust deed sought to be foreclosed was not usurious as including a commission from the lender, held not contrary to the evidence where there was positive evidence to sustain the finding, against which there were circumstantial facts not inconsistent therewith.\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. John M. O\u2019Connor, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1914.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed December 21, 1915.\nStatement of the Case.\nBill by Hugo Munzer and others, complainants, against Kate K. Hillabrant, defendant, in the Superior Court of Cook county, to foreclose a trust deed. From a decree of foreclosure, defendant appeals.\nComplainant applied for the loan to a real estate agent in Chicago and authorized a commission to be paid therefor. The latter applied to a second party and he in-turn to a third who obtained the money from a fourth party and received part of the commission.\nThe evidence tended to show that the loan actually came from the fourth party, who received part of the commission, and that the intermediate parties acted as agents for the borrower and not for the lender.\nRobert B. Clark and P. H. Bishop, for appellant.\nSamuel J. Richman, for appellees.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
