Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The only question properly raised on the record is whether where a person holds a note against another which from lapse of time is not supposed to remain in force, a payment of money^ not intended or supposed by the parties to be made on the note can be applied on it so as to revive it and thus remove the bar of the statute of limitations. We think the proposition is absurd.
The judgment must be affirmed with costs.
