MR. JUSTICE JOHN C. HARRISON
specially concurring:
Had this case been decided only on the evidence, I most certainly would not have joined this majority opinion in returning it to the district court for dismissal. However, as much as I am loathe to reverse a case where a jury has rendered its findings, I must agree with the majority in its interpretation of section 93-2607, R.C.M.1947. The defense of the statute of limitations is not a technical matter, and when properly raised, must be recognized by the court. The district court should have recognized this and granted a directed verdict at the close of respondents’ case.
