GENERAL COURT,
    MAY TERM, 1796.
    George Schnertzell against James Chapline.
    THIS was an action of assumpsit on a promissory note dated the 27th of March, 1789, payable on demand. The original writ issued on the 25th of October, 1793. The defendant pleaded limitations. To which the plaintiff, under the statute of 21 Jac. I. c. 16. s. 4.. replied a former suit wherein the judgment was arrested. (See the replication in the 2d vol. of Harris’s Entries, p. 353.) To this replication the defendant demurred generally.
    Martin, (Attorney-General,) for the plaintiff.
    Mason, for the defendant.
   The court gave judgment upon the demurrer for the plaintiff, and assessed the damages.

The defendant brought a writ of error to the court of appeals, in which court the judgment was affirmed at June term, 1800.
