Store Accounts.
sir.-I noticed In your queries and an
swers coloumn in Sundays issue that you
made an error In reply to subscriber
asking for the law OF limitations on ac-
lions on store accounts, which ! have
no doubt you would like to correct, and /.
therefore, take tho liberty OF calling
your attention to the same.
You state that the two years (rcqulrcd
to bal, a claim,on q store aScounp dates
from the last item Charged The Court
or Appeals In the case Of Magarlty VI.
Shpman, % va. 81. delivered April .
lions ran on, each item, Of a store ac-
co,(at, and that each Item would be
barred after 1t had been standing two
years
account should be taken as whole and
the two years would run from the date
Of tho last item.
Notice that tho language or the statute
is "for articles charged In n store &C
count" Code of Virginia. section e9eO
and not "for,in. store account"
The court in the case just referred 70
overrulcd a previous decision rendered BY
the Gold court" which WAS delivered Feb
ruary 81, 1889. This was the case OF Rad
ford vs.. Fowlkes, SO VA, p. $50, In which
Tho court drew a distinction between "ac.
counts current and accounts stated
and ruled that the statute, hogan to run
against them from the date Of thelr PC, !,
This distinction is no longer law. as II has
been overrulcd In the case first referred
to by our new court ~, =,
Therefore, a proper answer TO Inc M
gntiry OF your subscriber would be 10 say
that tho statute OF limitations nttaches
to each tom two years from Its DATE a (, q, as
we'll to the FIRST item as to ne !nsI 1n nn"'
