On Motion for Rehearing.
On rehearing appellants contend that we erred in holding that the minority of the appellants represented by a guardian ad litem did not toll in their behalf the running of the statute of limitation pleaded by appellees and in requiring said minors to allege and prove that their mother died before the period of limitation was complete against her. The motion raises this question for the first time in any form. The minority of the particular appellants was not pleaded as tolling the running of the statute of limitation pleaded by appellees, nor that the period of limitation had not run against their mother before her death. The law is settled that, where one seeks to avoid bar of a statute of limitation duly pleaded on the ground of minority, coverture, or any other exception that would' toll limitation or bring him beyond the pale of the operation of the statute, he must specifically plead such minority or exception. Bremond v. McLean, 45 Tex. 10; McDonald v. McGuire, 8 Tex. 366; McBurney v. Daugherty (Tex. Civ. App.) 19 S.W.(2d) 113, and the cases there cited.
The motion is overruled.
Overruled.
