OPINION ON PETITION TO REHEAR
Petition to rehear has been filed making the same contention which we have already considered, that § 30-513 T.C.A. is a statute of proscription and not a statute of limitation. The contention is also made that the proceedings in the Probate Court were such as to preclude appellant Woods from reliance on § 28-106 T.C.A.
With respect to the first proposition, it is sufficient to say that serious consideration was given to this question, and the conclusion was judiciously reached by the entire Court that § 30-513 T.C.A. consistent with all of the authority, is a statute of limitation and not a statute of proscription. We find nothing in the petition to rehear that persuades us to depart from that holding.
As to the second proposition, that the proceeding in the Probate Court was at least sufficiently on the merits to bar appellant Woods from the benefit of § 28-106 authorizing a new action after an adverse decision not foreclosing the merits, we must deny a rehearing on this ground, because it depends entirely upon a transcript of the proceedings in the Probate Court which is not authenticated by the trial judge. This authenticated by the trial judge. This authentication is indispensable to the use of this transcript for any purpose.
The petition to rehear is respectfully denied.
