The opinion of the court was delivered by
This is an action for alienating a wife’s affections, for enticing lier away, and for criminal conversation. The defendant pleads three pleas of the statute of limitations, one relying on six years’ limitation, one on four years, and one on two years. The plaintiff demurs to the pleas setting up the period of four years and the period of two years. The substantial question is whether the action is barred by six, or by four, or by two years. The defendant contends — first, that the two years’ limitation of section 3 of the statute of limitations (Comp. Slat., p. 3164) governs; second, if not, then the four years’ limitation of section 2.
