Head Matter:
Milton Brown et al. v. The Symns Grocer Company.
No. 14,064.
(82 Pac. 1134.)
1. Judgments — Order Staying Execution — Termination. Where bonds were given by a judgment debtor to secure a stay of execution pending the hearing of a petition to set aside certain judgments, and the court granted such stay “until the further order of the court,” and afterward, upon the denial of the petition, made an order staying execution for fifty days, it was held that the making of the second order terminated the first, whether or not new bonds were required or given.
2. Practice, District Court — Limitation of Action. It was further held that in such case the statute of limitation began to run against an action on the first bonds either when the petition to set aside the judgments was denied or when the second stay order expired.
Error from Shawnee district court; Z. T. Hazen, judge.
Opinion filed October 7, 1905.
Affirmed.
J ohn C. England, and Milton Brown, for plaintiffs in error.
Jackson & Jackson, for defendant in error.

Opinion:
Per Curiam:
This was an action by assignees of a bond given by a judgment debtor to secure a stay of execution on the judgment. The stay was granted by the court to a certain day, at which time it expired. At the expiration of the stay the bond had served its purpose, the judgment creditor was at liberty to proceed with the collection of his judgment, and no cause of action could thereafter accrue on such bond. Over five years after such stay of execution had expired this action was commenced. These facts appeared on the face of the petition. A demurrer to the petition was sustained. Held, not error.
