'2. The jury having found in favor of the plaintiff fqr the full amount of principal of the notes sued on, with interest as specified in them, and sustained the claim of a lien upon the land under the security deed involved in the controversy, and thus negatived the existence of usury in the transaction, it will not require a new trial even if certain parts of the judge’s charge, as to attorney’s fees in case the jury reduced the amount claimed, and in case they found that there was usury, were inaccurate.
