LIMITATION OF ACTIONS,

tabular view of period of, in the various actions, 413-417

from what time statutes run, 417-419

in case of breach of contract, 411

in case of torts, 418

when currency of statutes suspended by disability of plaintiff, ib.

when defendants beyond the seas statutes do not begin to run until their
return, ib.

when one of several co-debtors beyond seas, statutes only suspended as to
him, ib.

meaning of "beyond seas," ib.

provisions as to persons beyond seas apply to persons resident abroad as
well as to natives of United Kingdom, 418, 419

when a statute of limitation once begins to run no supervening disability
will interrupt it, 419

revival of barred claim by subsequent payment, ib.

where two debts and one barred effect of payment made generally, ib.

payment by agent sufficient, unless authority exceeded, ib.

LIMITATION OF ACTIONS-continued.

payment need not be made by debtor, 419

when made by third person, being himself also liable, the creditor cannot
appropriate payment as made on behalf of other debtor, ib.

payment by one co-debtor does not revive debt as against other or others, ib.
payment need not be made to creditor, 419, 420

what is sufficient evidence of payment, 420

revival by acknowledgment or promise, 420-422

distinction between effect of promise and that of acknowledgment, 420
evidence of promise or acknowledgment, ib.

acknowledgment by agent sufficient, ib.

promise or acknowledgment by one joint debtor does not deprive other or
others of benefit of any statute of limitations, 420, 421

by and to whom promise or acknowledgment to be made, 421

when to third person it must amount to a promise to pay the debt, ib.

stronger evidence required to revive debt already barred than to suspend
currency of statute, ib.

Court to determine whether a document amounts to a promise or acknow-
ledgment, ib.

so whether it is an absolute or conditional promise, ib.
promise or acknowledgment after action insufficient, ib.

the provision requiring promise or acknowledgment to be in writing
signed, applies to debt on simple contract alleged by way of set off to
which statute has been pleaded, ib.

revival by promise or acknowledgment is confined to cases of debt, and
does not apply to liability for breaches of contract not resulting in a
debt, ib.

the doctrine of revival does not apply to actions for wrongs independent
of contract, ib.

infant may by promise or acknowledgment revive debt for necessaries barred
by statute, ib.

revival of specialty debts (provisions of 3 & 4 Will. 4, c. 42), 421, 422
they may be revived by acknowledgment in writing signed by debtor
or his agent, 422

or by part payment or part satisfaction of principal or interest, ib.
act only applies to money remaining unpaid, and acknowledged to be
due, ib.

and not to other claims for acts or omissions in breach of covenant, ib.
acknowledgment under act need not import a promise to pay, ib.
and may therefore be made to a third person, ib.

how minority or other disability to be pleaded in reply to a defence that
debt is barred by statute, ib.

now necessary to reply specially where debt revived by payment or by
promise or acknowledgment, ib.

revival of specialty debt under. 3 & 4 Will. 4, c. 42 must be specially
replied, ib.

and reply must state whether revival was by part payment, part satisfac-
tion or acknowledgment, ib.

a reply to a defence setting up Statute of Limitations that the cause of
action was fraudulently concealed is demurrable, ib.

foreign statutes of limitation which bar the remedy and not the right have
no application here, ib.
