ESTATE
CASE DECICED.

opinion today in the case Of Agnes u.
Ireland, executrx Of the estate OF Z. a.
Ireland deceased, appellant, vs. Richard
Macintosh, affirming the judgment Of
the Third district court, A. n. Cherry,
judge.
In January, 1892, Mr. Macintosh exc.
cuted his promissory note 10 +. A. Ire
land for {5,275, payable one day after
date. Mr.. Ireland died on May a. 1895,
and the following July his widow was
appointed administrator OF his estate.
on August &c. 1899 Mrs. Ireland insu-
tuted proceedings against MT. MaCkin-
tosh 10 recover the amount Of the note.
The defense pleaded the statute Of liVi-
tations, and the trial court found the
action was barred by that statute. and
accordingly rendered judgment against
the plaintiff.
In lengthy review OF the law on the
statutory period Of promissory notes,
the Supreme court finds that the Utah
statute governing such matters, has,
in substance, been enacted In all the
states Of the Union.
The pleading OF the statute as a de-
Tense and bar 10 the action. the court
holds was eminently proper and IL II
ordered that the judgment OF the trial
court be affirmed.
Although Il was not brought out al
the trial, the defendant now deceasei)

him and Mr. Ireland.
