On Rehearing.
GOODWYN, Justice.
Appellant argues that Nations v. Hawkins’ Adm’rs, 11 Ala. 859, is authority supportive of her position and if not followed it should be distinguished from the present case or overruled. Suffice it to say that the statute (Clay’s Digest (1843), p. 313, § 2) dealt with in Nations was not carried into the 1852 Code, nor has it been included in subsequent Codes.' Section 2157 of the 1852 Code, the , predecessor of, § 150, Tit. 7, Code'1940, as amended, was evidently intended- .to take the place of- the earlier statute. As noted in the original opinion, the cases dealing with § 150 have made a distinction between an “action” and a “cause of action.” Our consideration of § 150 was in the light of these decisions, which we consider to be controlling.
Application overruled.
LIVINGSTON, C. J., and COLEMAN and HARWOOD, JJ., concur.
