Head Matter:
Saltar against Administrator of Saltar.
Wlien statute of limitations pleaded, leave given to add a count stating a promise by administrator.
P. Stockton
moved to add a count to the declaration, stating a promise made by the administrator, the statute of limitations having been pleaded to the declaration on a promise by intestate.
Griffith, for defendant,
said he was not prepared to oppose it; if the application was correct the court would of course grant it.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
We think the application right, and that it ought to be granted.
Motion granted.
Note. — In Massachusetts it has been held, in a case of this kind, that a special count laying a promise to an administrator is unnecessary, (Baxter v. Penniman, 8 Mass. 133) though it is required in the English practice. Dean v. Crane, 1 Salk. 28.
