I concur in the result because there is nothing to show that Mrs. Taylor filed with the administrator an itemized account of her alleged claim within one year from the date of the death of Douglas Vass Sweetman. Apparently she did not disclose the nature of her claim until June 9, 1934, when she filed formal opposition to the account. I doubt the application of one year's prescription under Act No. 11 of 1926, where a claimant files with an administrator or executor within one year an itemized account *Page 765 
showing the nature of the claim. Where an itemized claim showing the nature of the debt is filed with an administrator within one year and rejected by him after the lapse of one year, making a suit for recognition of the claim necessary, I think the prescription of one year is not applicable because the claimant could not know until after the claim was rejected by the administrator that a suit for its enforcement would be necessary.
