Opinion — Murray

Mr. Ch. J. Murray delivered the opinion of the Court.

Mr. J. Heydeneeldt concurred.

The Court below properly decided that a foreign judgment was not * ‘ a contract, obligation or liability for the payment of money, founded on an instrument of writing executed out of this S tate, ” within tho meaning of the Statute of Limitations. We have already decided at this Term † that the Act of ’52 does not alter the time, as provided in the Act of ’50, for commencing suits upon this class of liabilities.

Judgment affirmed with costs.
