How an Old Obligation Can be Revived.

The Supreme Court has just made a
very interesting decision involving the
limitation of time and circumstances
under which a debt can be invalidated
One DIR. Penrose Wiley, of Berks coun-
ty, received various sums of money from
Mary Finkbone, and for which he gave
her due bill dated May 10Th, 1868, for
S475-that being the total of the several
sums due her. He afterwards borrowed
$50 more from her, and on the same due
bill which she held for the $475, acknowl-
edged having received and was owing
her $50. This last evidence of indebt-
edness was dated October 18th, i969.-
Some six years after this, the doctor col
lapsed financially, and Mary attempted
to recover the amount due her out of his
estate, but it was maintained that her
claim was barred by the statute of limi-
tation. The lower court affirmed this
view of the case, and Mary lost. But
nothing daunted, she carried her case to
the Supreme Court, maintaining that
when the doctor gave the last receipt for
the $50 on the old obligation for $475, it
was practically renewing the same for a
larger amount, and for that reason the
statute of limitation could not be plead
ed as 9 bar against her claim. The Su-
preme Court reversed the decision of the
court Below, and affirmed that Mary s
claim was good.
