18 How. 595

WILLIAM C. PEASE, PLAINTIFF IN ERROR, v. JOHN PECK, SURVIVING PARTNER OF THE FIRM OF PECK AND WALTON.

Supreme Court of United States.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

It was argued by Mr. Lawrence, for the plaintiff in error, adopting also an argument filed by Mr. Emmons and Mr. Grey; and for the defendant in error by Mr. Badger, upon a brief filed by himself and Mr. Carlisle.

Mr. Justice GRIER delivered the opinion of the court.

Peck, the plaintiff below, declared against Pease in an action of debt on a judgment obtained in the circuit court of the territory (now State) of Michigan, at the term of January, 1836. The defendant pleaded the statute of limitations of eight years; to which the plaintiff replied that he did not at any time reside in the State of Michigan, but in parts "beyond seas," to wit, in the state of New York.
