Supreme Court of Alabama June 15, 1874 (Lansford v. Scott)

B. F. SAFFOLD, J.

The question at issue is, whether the statute of limitation of three years is pleadable in bar, to the common counts, introduced by amendment into the complaint founded upon a promissory note given for the same cause of action, the limitation having expired since the commencement of the suit on the note, but before the amendment was made.
