A somewhat novel law point was
raised in the probate court here few
days since on "a hearing of claims pre-
scented against the estate of the late
Jason Ayers, of this county. Judge
Heckert kindly allowed the NORTH
ERNER to copy his opinion, which is rs
follows;
In the matter of the estate of Jason
Ayers, deceased:
The facts in this case are as follows
In 1878 Jason Ayers resided in Ohio,
and borrowed of his father at that time
$500, and gave his promissory notes
therefor, payable in one and two years
from date. Some time after these notes
came due Jason moved to Van Buren,
county, Michigan, and lived here until
last fall, when he died His estate is
being probated in this court, and the
notes above mentioned are presented
for allowance against his estate.
In Ohio the statute of limitations
does not bar right of action on a
parol contract until the expiration of
fifteen years from the time the contract
natures. In Michigan the bar is com
plete at the expiration of SIR years from
maturity.
The question for decision is, whether
the law of the place where the contract
is made, or the law Of the forum gov
ems. Some doctrines are said To be
so well established that it would be a
waste of time to attempt To defend
them. 1t is, for instance, "A principle of
public law, absolutely beyond the reach
of judicial controversy, that personal
contracts are To have the same validity,
Interpretation and obligatory force in
every other country or state which they
! have in the country or state where they
are made. Another rule, equally well
settled, is that remedies on contracts
are to be regulated and pursued accord
| ing TO the laws of the place where the
action is instituted, and not by the laws
of the place where the contract is made
Hence, the statute of limitations of the
state i'm which suit is brought may be
pleaded in bar of recovery on con.
tract made out of its political jurisdic
ton, and that the statute of the place
where the contract was made can not
| be invoked.
Such being the well-settled and un
broken line of judicial decisions in al
countries where the common law pre-
walls, it follows that the notes sought tc
be collected here out of this estate are
barred, and no recovery can be had
upon them.
