The plea of the statute of limitations is not appropriate to an action of sciro facias to revive a judgment.
Appeal from, Lafayette Circuit Court.
Hon. Len B. Green, Circuit Judge.
Garland & Randolph, for the appellant.
Gallagher, for appellee.

Opinion:
Mr. Chief Justice English
delivered the opinion of the court.
The questions presented in this case were decided in Brearl/y vs. Peay, Bee., at the present term, which followed previous adjudications of the court.
The judgment sought to be revived by the scire facias was rendered 29th April, 1850.

The plea of the statute oi limitation was inappropriate.
Judgment affirmed.
