tation of time to a demand by a resi-
dent in foreign parts against a resi-
dent in these islands if the cause OF
action arose outside of the Kingdom
Such demands arising here are
barred by statute after a lapse of six
years. III a person RECEIVERS judg

arising there the defendant has had
his day in Court and been enabled
to make his defense; therefore the
statute does not bar foreign judg
ment obtained in Court of recorC
earlier than Judgment in our loca
Courts; with an unlitigated demand
there exists this reason to make the
time of limitation shorter. The
resident in Hawaii has not al
equal facility for marshalling tn,
evidence upon which his defense
rests with the plaintiff who resides
at the place abroad where the actor
arose. Set off, accord, payment ano
all other like defenses are more
difficult to prove by the absent
debtor than the justice of the de
mand by the creditor therefore it is
proper to force the creditor; of sucl
a demand to commence his actor
within a shorter and more reasona
