The opinion OF the Court was delivered by HALL J.
This is an action on book in which a Judgment was
rendered by the County Court for the plaintiff, and is
brought here upon exceptions by the defendant. The
commenced until sii-both parties resided in Gram
vile in the State OF New York when the account nc
crued and they both continued TO reside there the
commencement of the suit. The question at issue is
whether the statute of limitations OF 1877, is applicable
to case like the present. Ii this were open ques-
ton, the construction contended for by the defendant,
might perhaps with propriety be adoped-but the
doctrine that these OF limitation do extend
to persons residing OF the State, has been long
held in this and other states be disturbed and
though the rule may and undoubtedly does operate
harshy and unlusty in the pfesent case this
this Court, who are bound to lay down the law as
they find H. The result is the judgment Of the Coun-
ty Count is affirmed

The trustee disclosed sundry effects and CREDITS ofhc
principal defendant in his hands, and among other
demands about which there was no dispute, lie claim
ed that he should be allowed in offset one half of the
amount he had been obliged to pay surety for A.
anson Mitchell on note to one Chcever, Which the
defendant had also signed co-suety with him. The
note signed by A. Mitchell, as principal and by the
defendant and trustee sdreties for him, given
before the commencement of this suit but did not be-
come due until after but il became due and paid
by the trustee before he made his final disclosure in
the County Court. The County Court decided that
the amount paid by the trustee or portion oil it,
could not be deducted +; to this decision exceptions
were taken by the trustee.
The opinion of the Supreme Court was given by
BENNETT j., i'll which it was held that Sec. 30 of the
Trustee act extended to like the present, where
the liability was assumed by signing the note CO
surety before the co announcement of the suit though
the payment by the surety and consequent perfection
OF his claim against his co-surey was not until ate
that time that the case above stated was analagou
TO that OF payment by surety for his principal
which it had been decided in Massachusetts, shoul,
be deducted, though the note upon which he wa
surety had not not become due, and was not paid b.
the trustee until after the commencement of the trus
tee action against him. Judgment OF the Count
Court reversed.
