The appeal from the Sadder Dewanny Adawlut, at
Fort Will am, in 13enty,s1, between G. J. Gordon, lecutor
of Futteh Yab Khan appellant, and Khajeh Alm° Ma-
homed Khan, and others, respondents, which had been
port heard at a former meeting, was resumed. Mr. B:ck-
ersteth and Dr. Lushington were heard for the appellant
Mr. Sergeant Spankie appeared for the respondents.
The total claim of the appellant, as %rite,' in a plaint
to the Patna Provincial C ,urt in 1817, amounted to a
sum of 23 lacs and 84 000 rupees, equal to 238,0001.,
being one-fourth of the property (and accumulation) left
hy Shalibaz Beg Khan, by virtue of an order of the Patna
Provincial Council in 1777, which adjudged to Nadira
Beguan, widow of the deceased (now represent, d by Mr.
Gordon), 3 shares (of 12) of cettain property of Shahbaz
Beg Khan ; and as to extensive landed property (altumgha
mehauls), 3 shares (o 112), as aforesaid, from the produce
annually during her natural life.
In 1796 Nadira Begot/a applied to the City Court of
Patna to enforce her claim of the one fourth amount (note
represented by the respondents); this suit was dism:s.ed
Amy the Court, because, under the judicial !Tettl ition of the
Bengal Government, a claim is not admissible that is of
more than 12 years' standing, while the decree of the
Patna Council, on which Nadira 13-gum rested her el ,itn,
hole date 1777, a term of nearly 20 years, and Nadira
Blum had never sued out the execution of the decree
in question before the institution of the action.

In 1819 the Judges of the Patna Provincial Court
decided, that as once the claim of the appellants to the
property sued for hid ben dismi-sed by the city of
Adawlut, their suit was not admissible by an Adawlut for
the eame property.
The second Judge of the Sudder Dewanny Adawlut gave
judgment in 1820, that the suit should be entertained and
heard, being of opinion that the regulations did not debar a
person in whose favour a decree of long standing may have
been pronounced from exhibiting the decree as his docu-
ment, and suing de novo. Several other decisions, at
different periods, have been pronounced in the same
Court, some in favour of the responden's, others allowing
the appellant's claim. The nature of the original grant
of the altumgha lands by the sovereign power who
::ranted them to the deceased was discus,ed before their
Lordships.
The decision of their Lordships was, that in any case
the appellants were barred by the lapse of time in bringing
their suit ; the decree of the Court below must therefore be
affirmed ; but as there was a difference among the decisions
of the Judges in the Courts below, the decree should be
affirmed without costs.

The appeal " Goopee Mobun Takoor v. Raja Radhanat,"
from Bengal, was opened by Mr. Bielicrstetli.
Their Lordships adjourned.
