Task: songer_typeiss

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the general category of issues discussed in the opinion of the court. Choose among the following categories. Criminal and prisioner petitions- includes appeals of conviction, petitions for post conviction relief, habeas corpus petitions, and other prisoner petitions which challenge the validity of the conviction or the sentence or the validity of continued confinement. Civil - Government - these will include appeals from administrative agencies (e.g., OSHA,FDA), the decisions of administrative law judges, or the decisions of independent regulatory agencies (e.g., NLRB, FCC,SEC). The focus in administrative law is usually on procedural principles that apply to administrative agencies as they affect private interests, primarily through rulemaking and adjudication. Tort actions against the government, including petitions by prisoners which challenge the conditions of their confinement or which seek damages for torts committed by prion officials or by police fit in this category. In addition, this category will include suits over taxes and claims for benefits from government. Diversity of Citizenship - civil cases involving disputes between citizens of different states (remember that businesses have state citizenship). These cases will always involve the application of state or local law. If the case is centrally concerned with the application or interpretation of federal law then it is not a diversity case. Civil Disputes - Private - includes all civil cases that do not fit in any of the above categories. The opposing litigants will be individuals, businesses or groups.

PAGE, Circuit Judge.
The only question presented by this writ is whether the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois erred in sustaining a general demurrer to the declaration of plaintiff in error.
The declaration, filed June 1, 1925, alleges, in substance:
That plaintiff, a citizen of Indiana, because of representations made to her by defendants, citizens of Illinois, was induced, on or about January 15, 1917, to deliver to defendants $7,150, for which she received an instrument in writing as follows:
“Chicago, Ill., Jan. 15, 1917.
“Received from Mrs. M. Domoko’s Oden Boer seven thousand and one hundred fifty dollars for (foreign money) kronen 55,000 to be remitted to Magyar Kirahji Postaresidenee Takarekpentztar Budapest.
“Resvesz & Szoeke, per Revesz.”
That defendants agreed they would, within a reasonable time thereafter, deposit to plaintiff’s credit in the Royal Hungarian Post Savings Bank, 55,000 kronen and deliver to her a passbook therefor, and in event they failed within a reasonable time to deliver the passbook they would return, upon request, the $7,150; that defendants did not deposit the 55,000 kronen to her credit, or deliver a passbook to her therefor, and, upon her demand, made January 15, 1919, refused to return the $7,150 or deliver such passbook, thereby breaching their contract, to her damage in the sum of $12,000.
The record does not disclose in what particular the court found the declaration defective, nor do we have the aid of a brief from defendant in error, but counsel for defendant in error, on oral argument in this court, urged that the declaration is defective, because he is unable to tell therefrom whether the plaintiff is relying upon a written undertaking or an oral one, and he therefore did not know what statute of limitations to plead, and that, in any event, it appeared that the statute of limitations had run against the action. Whether the statute of limitations had run is a question which cannot, under the Illinois practice, be raised by a general demurrer. Heimberger v. Elliot Switch Co., 245 Ill. 448, 450, 92 N. E. 297. The statute of limitations is an affirmative defense.
We are of opinion that the declaration, though informal, states a good cause of action, and that the judgment should be, and it is, reversed, and the cause remanded, with direction to overrule the demurrer to the declaration.
