They were both dismissed, and second suits brought within six months from the dismissals, but after January 1st, 1870. The respective courts held that the plaintiffs ivere barred, and they excepted.

In the second, D. A. Walker, by brief; J. McConnell and E. J. Kiker, represented the plaintiff in error, and W. H. Dabney and J. C. Fain, the defendants.

Opinion:

Judgment affirmed.
