EVENS vs. JACKSON.
    In what cases suitsmay revived after two terms have elapsedsince the death of party.
    There had formerly been entered on the docket within two terms a suggestion of the plaintiffs death and this suggestion had remained upon the docket one or two terms, having been continued at each court. It was now moved that the suit should be revived in the name of the representative.
   Per Curiam.

After argument, the suggestion, it is admitted was within time. In many instances where the parties live abroad, the counsel may not be informed of the executor or administrator. It would therefore seem most proper to permit revivals after the lapse of two terms, upon suggestion, being made within time and upon its appearing to the court that there actually were personal representatives within two terms.
