A BILL in chancery was filed against the executors of a testator for money alleged to have been received by the deceased for the use of the complainant’s ancestor. It appeared, by the evidence, that more than thirty years had elapsed since the receipt of the money. Held, that, so long a time having elapsed, payment of the demand should be presumed. 1 Madd. 99.— Jer. Eq. 549. — Smithy. Clay, Amb. 645.--Hovendenv. Ld. Annesley, 2 Sch. & Lef. 607,630. — Ellison v.
