Illinois Supreme Court June 15, 1853 (Trustees of Schools v. Chamberlain)

Treat, C. J.

The principal question in the case relates to the sufficiency of the second plea. A bare reference to some statutory provisions will settle it. Prior to the passage of the act of the 10th of February, 1849, which went into effect on the 13th of April, 1849, there was no limitation to actions of debt upon simple contract. Bedell v. Janney, 4 Gilman, 193.
