Lee v. Cassin

15 F. Cas. 146 | U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia | 1815

The CotrRT, (Morsell, J., not sitting,)

was of opinion that on a note payable on demand, the cause of action does not accrue so as to make the statute of limitations begin to run until a demand be made. That the removal of the defendant from Massachusetts, before the cause of action accrued, was a bar to the statute of limitations of Massachusetts; and the replication that the plaintiff was beyond seas, was a bar to the statute of Maryland.
