delivered the opinion of the Court.

On the 18th day of October, 1944, we refused applications for writs of error in the above cases. The applications were refused because we were of the opinion that the State’s suits to recover the land were barred by the one year statute of niilitation. Revised Statutes, Art. 5329, sec. 4; Caples v. Cole, 129 Texas 370, 102 S. W. (2d) 173, 104 S. W. (2d) 3.

The motions for rehearing are overruled.
