red and nine thousand one hundred and seventy-ene dollars.

All of said bank-bills and copies thereof are of file in the office of the

clerk of this court, and are here ready to be shown.

And afterwards, to wit, on the day the said bills were so issued, the

said bank-bills came into the hand and possession of your petitioner

for a good and valuable consideration, then and there paid by him, who

is now the holder and bearer thereof.

Your petitioner afterwards, to wit, on the first day of October, in the

year eighteen hundred and sixty-seven, in Savannah, in the county of

Chatham, State of Georgia, and in the said southern district of Geor-

gia, being the lawful owner and bearer of said bank-bills and exclas-

ively entitled to receive the money due on said bills, presented the

same, then unpaid, to the said president and cashier of said bank at

their usual place of business, the said bank having ceased to do busi-

ness and hving no office or other place for the transaction of business, ey

for payment, and then and there, as the holder and bearer of said bills, ~

demanded payment of the same, which was then and there refused.

And afterwards, to wit, on the seventeenth day of October, in the

year eighteen hundred and sixty-seven, your petitioner instituted his

suit against said bank for the recovery of the money due on said bills

in the fifth circuit court of the United States for the southern district

of Georgia, and afterwards, at the November term of said court, to wit,

on the 27th day of November, iu the year eighteen huudred and

54 sixty-seven, he recovered, by the judgment of said court, of said

bank, the sum of one hundred and nine thousand one hundred

and seventy-one dollars for his principal debt, and the sum of six hun-

dred and thirty-six dollars and thirty cents for his interest on said

principal sum from the seventeenth day of October, in the year eighteen

hundred and sixty-seven, to the twenty-seventh day of November,

eighteen hundred and sixty-seven, and the sum of ten thousand nine

hundred and seventeen dollars as damages, with his costs, as by the

record of said judgment in said court remaining fally appears, which o“

judgment is now of full force, not annulled, reversed, satisfied, nor ap- :

pealed from, of all of which the said defendant had due notice.

And that upon said judgment, afterward, to wit, on the second day

of March, eighteen hundred and sixty-eight, execution regularly issued,

and on the twenty-third day of May, eighteen hundred and sixty-eight,

was, by the marshal for the district of Georgia, duly returned into

office, with the entry, “ I have made due and diligent search, and find

no property in the bail’wick on which to levy under this fi. fa.,” which :

your petitioner avers to be true, and says that said bank is insolvent i

and unable to pay its bills or notes issued by it, and has suspended Pf

business, is wholly insolvent, and without property out of which satis-

faction of said judgment can be had, and your petitioner avers that

said bank had at no time in circulation nor had issued more than the

sum of fourteen hu thousand dollars of its bills or notes, and had

not in circulation at the time of the iustitation of said suit by

petitioner, nor at this time, more than the sum of eight hundred

55 thousand dollars, and that it does uot owe by its bills or notes at

this time more than the sum last aforesaid. |

By means whereof, and by force of the statute aforesaid, an action

hath accrued to your petitioner to have and recover of the said defend-

ant, in his individual and private capacity, the said sum of one handred

and nine thousand one hundred and seveuty-one dollars, with interest

thereon, for the redemption of the bills 80 held and owned by him as

aforesaid. —

Yet the said George Hall iu his life-time, and the said Thomas RB.

Mills, j’r, as his administrator as aforesaid, although so indebted and

often requested so to do, has not paid your petitioner the sum of

aforesaid, nor any part thereof, but the same to pay hath hitherto wholly .

neglected and refused, and still doth neglect and refuse to the damage

of your petitioner two hundred thousand dollars.

Wherefore your petitioner prays process may issue requiring the said

Thomas R. Mills, as administrator as aforesaid, to be and appear at the

clerk’s office of said court, in the city of Savannah, at rules to be had

on the first Monday in February next, and to answer in the premises.

LEVI H. B. Scott.

And the said defendant, Thomas R. Mills, j’r, as administrator of the

estate of George Hall, deceased, by his attorneys, Hartridge & Chis-

holm, now comes and defends the wrong and injury when, &c., and

says that the said George Hall, deceased, in his life-time did not owe,

and that this defendant does not detain the said sum of money above

demanded, or any part thereof, in manner and form as the said plaintiff

above thereof complained against him, and of this the said defendant

puts himself. upon the country.

And for further plea in this behalf the said defendant says, that the

said plaintiff ought not to have or maintain his aforesaid action thereof

against him because, he says, that the several supposed causes of action

in the said declaration mentioned did not, nor did any of them, or either

of them, accrue to the said plaintiff at any time since the first

59 day of June, eighteen hundred and sixty-five, and that the sev-

eral supposed causes of action accrued to the said plaintiff prior

to the said first day of June, eighteen hundred and sixty-five, and that

the said suit and action of the said plaintiff was not commenced against

this defendant prior to the first day of January, eighteen hundred and

seventy, by reason of which facts, and by virtue of an act of the gen.

eral assembly of the State of Georgia, approved on the sixteenth day

of March, eighteen hundred and sixty-nine, entitled, “An act in relation

to the statute of limitations, and for other purposes,” the said right of

action of the said plaintiff was barred at the time of the commencement

of the suit, and this the said defendant is ready to verify. Wherefore,

he prays judgmeut if the said plaintiff ought to have or maintain his

aforesaid action thereof against him. |

And for a farther plea in this behalf the said defendant sars, that the

said plaintiff ought not to have or maintain his aforesaid action thereof

against him because, he says, that the several supposed rights of action

in the said declaration mentioned actually accrued to the said plaintiff

long before the first day of January, (1870) eighteen hundred and sev-

enty, and are upon several supposed liabilities which were in existence

prior to the first day of June, eighteen hundred and sixty-five, and that

the said suit and action of the said plaintiff was not commenced against

It was considered by agreement of defendant that the facts should be

considered as set forth in the pleas, and consequently it was admitted

by defendant in argument of demurrer that George Hall died in 1868,

domiciled in the State of Connecticut, leaving a will; that there was no

administration.in Georgia on his estate until April 9th, 1869, when let-

ters of administration ad colligendum were granted to said Thomas R.

Mills, j’r, and that permanent letters of administration cum testa-

63 mento annexo were granted by the ordinary of Chatham County,

Georgia, to said Thomas R. Mills, j’r, on said estate on the sev-

The questions presented being similar, the cases were argued

in connection with each other. These suits are two of the numerous

cases which have, under various phases, been pending here for years,

and known as the “ Bank cases.” Many of these cases have, from time

to time, been disposed of by decrees, judgments, or compromises, but

the question now presented is quite different from any which has hitherto

come before the court for determination. No special statement of the

contents of the bill or the declaration is necessary to an understanding

of the questions given for decision. Suffice it to say, that the bill prays

MILLS, JR., VS. SCOTT.

a decree for seventy-five thousand dollars against the estate of the de-

ceased for unpaid subscription upon his stock in the Merchants and

Planters’ Bank; and in the common law action, the plaintiff demands

one hundred thousand dollars as due to him as a holder of notes or bills

of this bank, the estate of the deceased being, as is alleged, liable for

~ the same.

All questions, except the precise one presented for adjudication, may

be left out of view. Two pleas in bar are before me. One to the bill,

and the other to the declaration. They are substantially alike, and are

based upon the act of the general assembly of this State, approved

March 16, 1869. The statute is entitled “An act in relation to the

\ ~ statute of limitations, and other purposes.” The complainant (Marsh)

filed exceptions to the plea put into the bill, and Scott demurred to the

plea in bar to his action. The pleas allege that the supposed causes

of action accrued prior to the first of June, 1865, and that they did

65 not accrue subsequently to that period, and this allegation is

not controverted by Marsh or by Scott in their pleadings.

The third section of the act is as follows: “‘ That all actions on bonds

or other instruments under seal, and all suits for the enforcement of

rights accruing to individuals or corporations ander the statutes or acts

of incorporations, or in any way by operation of law, which have accrued

prior to lst of Jane, 1865, not now barred, shall be brought by the Ist

of January, 1870, or the right of the party, plaintiff or claimant, and all

of right of action for its enforcement shall be forever barred.”

‘“SEc. 4. That all actions on promissory notes, bills of exchange, or

other simple contracts in writing, and all actions on open accounts, or

4 for breach of any contract not under the hand of the party sought to be

charged, or upon any implied assumpsit or undertaking, which accrued

on a contract which was made prior to Ist of June, 13865, not now barred

shall be brought by the lst of January (1870) next after the passage of

this act, or the right of the party, plaintiff or claimant, and all right of

action for its enforcement shall be forever barred.”

Section five relates to all actions against administrators, trustees, &c.,

whick accrued prior to Ist of June, 1865, and enacts that they shall be

brought by 1st of January, 1870; and section six declares that there

shall be no recovery on any liability whatsoever which accrued prior to

Ist of June, 1865, when the action is not brought by 1st of January,

1870. Section nine repeals conflicting laws.

Turning to section 2530 of the code, there it is declared that

66 ‘the administrator shall be allowed twelve months from the date

: of his qualification to ascertain the condition of the estate.”

Section 2548 enacts that ‘No suit to recover a debt due by the de-

cedent shall be commenced against the administrator until the ex-

piration of twelve months from his qualification.”

Hall domiciled in Connecticut, died there in the autamn of 1868S, tes-

tate, leaving real estate in Georgia disposed of by his will. There was

_ no representation here until the 8th of April, 1869, when the defendant,

Mills, was appointed temporary administrator, and he held this office

until the 7th of Jane, 1869, when permanent letters were granted to him

as administrator, with the will annexed. The bill in equity referred to

was filed by Marsh against one Burroughs and others, on the 24th of

September, 1868, but Mills was not made a party to the bill until the

ith of August, 1871. On the 20th of December, 1870, Scott brought

at» the action at law against Mills as administrator as aforesaid. Advert-

‘ ing to the act of March 16, 1869, it will be seen that from its date to

the 1st of January, 1870, the time prefixed by the statute for the closing

REc, 119—3 .

34 MILLS, JR., VS. SCOTT.

of the limitation is nine months and fifteen days, and this court has

(per Erskine, J.) ruled, on more than one occasion, that this is a reason-

able time within which a creditor whose right of action accrued anterior

to the Ist of June, 1865, and which was current on the 16th of March,

1869, may institute his suit.

Whether the general rule, as laid down by this court, is attended with

exceptions, I will endeavor to indicate as just mentioned. Mills

67 received his permanent appointment on the (th of June, 1869,

two months and twenty-one days after the passage of the limi-

tation act, and consequently nearly seven months before the first of

January, 1870; and it was not until the 7th of August, 1871, that he

was brought before this court as a defendant in the equity suit. This

was two years and two months subsequent to the granting of the per-

manent letters, and fourteen months subsequent to the expiration of the

time of exemption from suit given to an administrator by S. 2548 of the

code.

It was insisted by defendant that the twelve months’ protection from

pursuit by action allowed to an administrator was repealed by the act

of March 16, 1869, but if not so, still the cause of complaint alleged in

the bill against Mills was nevertheless barred on 7th of August, 1871,

the date on which he was made defendant, because, as was con-

tended, the twelve months saved to the administrator expired on the

7th of June, 1870, and allowing nine months and fifteen days to be

added to the twelve months, that still the complainant was not within

time, for. he did not proceed against Mills until the 7th of August, 1871,

some four or five months after the bar had attached.

For the complainant it was argued that the twelve months’ exemption

was not repealed by act of March 16, 1869; but if repealed, such repeal

is ineffectual to bar the suit of complainant, for this would impair the

obligation of contracts.

I will first direct my attention to the constitutional question made

by counsel for complainant. As already shown, Hall was deceased

68 when the act of March 16, 1869, was passed, and no administra-

tion was taken out until nearly three months after the date of

this enactment. It cannot, I apprehend, be safely contended that when

a party has a subsisting right of action, which will be barred by a time

certain, that he is compellable to institute proceedings to recover its

fruits before the last day of the limitations. Assuming the legal cor-

rectness of this, it follows that Marsh had, at least, to the last day of

1869 in which to bring his suit against Mills. Now, suppose Hall had

not died until, say, the middleof December, 1869, and the twelve months

exemption stood repealed, Marsh would be environed with insurmounta-

ble difficulties which he could not have foreseen, and so avoided.

As no administrator could have been qualified by the ordinary inter-

mediate the death of Hall and the period fixed for the bar, Marsh’s

dilemma would bave been this: The statute says sue by the 1st of Jan-

uary, 1870, and the only reply he could make is, there is no one subject

by law to answer the writ or subpeena. If the case under consideration

was like the suppositive one, I should be inclined to hold a State statute

that produced such a consequence violative of the Constitution of the

United States; for by thus depriving a party of all remedy it works a

forfeiture of his rights, without fault on his part. But there was a legal

representative of Hall in Mills, the administrator, with the will annexed,

and who bad qualified as such seven months or a little less anterior to

the Ist of January, 1870, and if the twelve months’ exemption from suit

ee: ”

“it

MILLS, JR., V3. SCOTT. 35

has been repealed by the act of March 16, 1869, he could have

69 been sued before the right of action would have been barred.

This fact, however, in its result would be very much like class

legislation, so far, at least, as Marsh would be affected; for as there was

no representative of the estate of Hall for nearly three months after the

passage of the act of March 16, 1869, the nine months and fifteen days

allowed to sue in would be diminished to less than seven. (Constitu-

tion of Georgia, art. 1, 8s. xxvi.) Moreover, whether this would be a

reasonable time in which to bring civil suits or be barred I am not

called upon to determine. But has the twelve months’ exempted to an

administrator by s. 2548 of the Code been repealed? This is the prime

question. Mr. Justice McLean in delivering the opinion of the Sapreme

Court of the United States in McChenney vs. Salliman (3 Peters, 270),

said: ‘Under this statute (34th section of the judiciary act of 1789)

the acts of limitations of the several States, where no special provision

has been made by Congress, form a rale of decision in the courts of the

United States; and the same effect is given to them as is given in the

State courts.” The rule of action is formed in the different States as it

may have been adopted and modified by legislation or a course of judi-

cial decision. The rule of decision must be found in the local laws,

written or unwritten. .

If the act of March 16th, 1869, does not repeal the twelve months’ ex-

emption from suit allowed to administrators, and after a careful con-

sideration of the entire statute I think it does not repeal the exemption

given to administrators ; therefore, I am of the opinion that it is

70 a valid law, and in consonance with the Conatitution of the

United States.

‘The following case (Moravian Seminary vs. Atwood et al.) was re-

cently decided by the supreme coart of, Georgia, Trippe, J., pronouncing

the opinion :

‘An account was contracted and due in September, 1862. Adminis-

tration was granted on the estate of the debtor in September, 1869, it

not appearing on the record when he died. Suit was institated on the

account in October, 1871. ,Held, that the plaintiff was barred by the

statute of limitations of March 16, 1869. Even though the plaintiff may

not have been entitled to have brought suit against the administration

by the 1st of January, 1870, which we do not determine, the spirit and

equity of the statate requires that it should have been commenced ©

within a period after twelve months from the grant of administration,

which was equal to the time allowed by the statute for bringing suits on

such «debts, to wit, from the date of the passage of the act to the lst

of January, 1870.”

Mills not having been made a party defendant to the bill filed on the

24th of September, 1868, by Marsh, against Burroughs and others until

after the expiration of the nine months and fifteen days immediately

following the twelve months’ exemption from suit given an adminis-

trator by the code, I overrule the exceptions filed by the complainant

and decree the plea to be a fall bar to the bill; and it is farther ordered

that the bill be dismissed as to Mills at cost of complainant.

The common.law action having been instituted by Scott against

71 Mills on the 30th of December, 1870, and within the nine months

and fifteen days immediately following the twelve months’ ex-

emption from action allowed to an administrator by the code, it is or-

dered and adjudged that the demurrer to the plea be sustained.

JULIAN HARTRIDGE,

Altorn

GEO. N. NICHOLS, PRINTER, SAVANNAH, GA,

LEVI H. B. SCOTT,

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES.

THOMAS R. MILLS, Jr., Adm’r, &c.,

of the estate of GEORGE HALL,

deceased,

Plaintiff in Error.

vs.

LEVI H. B. SCOTT,

Defendant in Error.

STATEMENT OF FACTS AND PLEADINGS.

This was an action at common law, brought in the

Fifth Circuit Court of the United States, for the South-

ern District of Georgia, by Levi H. B. Scott against

the Plaintiff in Error, as the Administrator cum testa-

mento annexo on the estaté of George Hall, deceased.

The suit was brought on bills of the Merchants and

Planters Bank, located at Savannah, Georgia, to the

amount of one hundred and nine thousand, one hun-

dred and seventy-one dollars, exclusive of interest ;

all of which bills were issued by said Bank on or be-

fore the 1st June, 1860. The declaration alleged that

George Hall, on ist January, 1860, and before that

time, and up to the time of his death, was the owner

of one thousand shares of the capital stock of said

2

Bank, each share of ihe value of one hundred dol-

lars; and the Administrator on his estate, Thomas R.

Mills, the junior, ever since the death of said Hall, |

and up to the present time, continued such owner. .

The claim of Plaintiff is based upon the fifteenth (15th)

section of the Act of the Legislature, incorporating

said Bank, which is in the following words: ‘‘The

persons and property of the stockholders shall at all

times be liable, pledged, and bound for the redemp-

tion of bills and notes at any time issued, in propor-

tion to the number of shares that each individual and

corporation may hold and possess.”’

The facts admitted in the pleadings or by agreement,

are: That on the 31st day of May, 1865, and continu-

ously since that date, said Bank was, and has been

notoriously insolvent, and had at that date, and has

ever since ceased to transact business, or to keep any

banking office or place of business, and all of said

bills have since that date ceased to circulate as money

or currency ; that George Hall died in the autumn of

1868, domiciled in the State of Connecticat, leaving a

Will ; that there was no administration in Georgia on

his estate until April 9th, 1869, when letters of admin-

istration ad colligendum were granted to Thomas R.

Mills, the junior; and that permanent letters of ad-

ministration cum testamento annexo were granted to

said Mills on said estate on the seventh (7th) day of

June, 1869; and that the causes of action accrued

prior to June 1st, 1865, and not subsequently to that

date. On December 20th, 1870, Scott brought his

action against Mills, the Administrator.

The Defendant pleaded, 1st. The general issue ; and,

second, au Act of the Legislature, approved March

16th, 1869, entitled: ‘‘An Act in relation to the statute

of limitations, and for other purposes.’’ The sections

of that Act relied upon in plea of Defendant are aa

follows: ‘‘3rd section—All actions on bonds or other

instruments under seal, and all suits for the enforce-

ment of rights accruing to individuals or corporations

under the statutes of acts of incorporation, or in any

way by operation of law, which have accrued prior

to June Ist, 1865, not now barred, shall be brought by

the 1st of January, 1870, or the right of the party,

plaintiff or claimant, and all right of action-for its en-

forcement, shall be forever barred ;’’ ‘* Section 4—That

all actions on promissory notes, bills of exchange,

or other simple contracts in writing, and all actions

on open accounts or for breach of any contract not

under the hand of the party sought to be charged, or

upon any implied assumpsit or undertaking, which

accrued on a contract which was made prior to 1st

of June, 1865, not now barred, shall be brought by

the 1st January, 1870, next, after the passage of this

Act, or the right of the party, plaintiff or claimant,

and all right of action for its enforcement shall be

forever barred.’’ ‘‘Section 6—All limitations herein-

before expressed, shall apply as well to Courts of

Equity as to Courts of Law, and the limitations shall

take effect in all cases mentioned in this Act, whether

the right of action had actually accrued prior to

the ist of June, 1865, or was.then only inchoate and

imperfect, if the contract or liability was then in exist-

ence.”’

The preamble to the Act is as follows:

‘‘Whereas, much confusion has grown out of the

distracted condition of affairs during the late war;

and wher-as, doubts are entertained relative to the

law of limitation of actions in this State, which should

be put to rest.”’ [Section 9 repeals all conflicting laws. ]

To the Defendant’s plea of the statute of limitations

of 1869, the Plaintiff demurred ; and Defendant _—

@ joinder in demurrer.

4

The Court below sustained the demurrer, and De-

fendant excepted to the decision. The jury found for

the Plaintiff.

The Defendant, before the adjournment of the Court,

and within the time allowed by the order of the Court,

filed his exceptions to the decision and ruling of the

Court, in reference to the statute of limitations, and

the verdict of the jury.

The Plaintiff in Error also relies upon errors and

defects patent upon the record, which he contends

this Court will notice and pass upon, although not

specifically excepted to. Under the clause of the

charter of the Merchants and Planters Bank above

cited, upon which is predicated the liability of Plain-

tiff in Error to Defendant in Error, an action at law

did not lie, but the proper remedy was by a bill in

Equity.

POINTS OF LAW.

_ I. The Judge below, in his decision sustaining the

demurrer to the plea of the statute of limitations, ad-

mitted that the Act of March, 1869, was a good and

constitutional statute ; and, indeed, this was so held

by this Court in Terry vs. Anderson, 5 Otto, 632.

The Court below held that as permanent letters of

administration were not granted to Mills until June

7th, 1869, the Plaintiff below could not sue him until

twelve months after, on account of a statute of Geor-

gia passed in 1799, and incorporated in the Code of

Georgia in 1862 as Section 2548 ; by which it is enacted

that, ‘‘ No suit to recover a debt due by the decedent

shall be commenced against the administrator until

the expiration of twelve months from his qualification,”’

We submit that the section of the Code of Georgia

last quoted, in reference to bringing suits against ad-

ministrators, was an exception to the statutes of limita-

tions of the State, existing prior to the Act of 1869, but

formed no exception to the latter Act, as it is not con-

tained in that Act, and was not passed or adopted

since that Act.

The Act exempting administrators from suit for

twelve months after the grant of permanent letters of

administration, suspends the statute of limitations for

that length of time, and thus adds twelve months

more to the lease of life of the debt.

The Act of 1869, as to limitations of actions, is sub-

‘sequent to all the Acts in reference to suits against ad-

ministrators, and contains no exception in their favor

as to suit for twelve months after qualification.

6

The proposition that the statute of limitations runs

against all parties not specially excepted by its terms,

is too well recognized to need the citation of many

authorities. ;

The Act of 1869 is a specially rigorous one, passed

under peculiar circumstances, and to relieve the peo-

ple of unusual and extraordinary hardships produced

by the civil war.

Therefore, if must be strictly construed, and no ex

ception allowed by a Court which is not specifically

mentioned in the Act itself.

The only ground upon which the twelve months

exemption could be considered as an exception to the

statute of limitations, would be its being subsequent

to the last mentioned Act; which is not the case.
