A TREATISE ON THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. (21 JAC. I. c. 16.) BY WILLIAM BALLANTINE, ESQ. OF THE INNER TEMPLE. WITH REFERENCES TO AMERICAN DECISIONS. NEW-YORK: Printed by C. Wiley, No. 28 Provoost Street. ADVERTISEMENT. In the following sheets, the decisions on the Statute 21 Jac. I. c. 16. have been collected and arranged. The limitation being restrictive of a common law right, general in its application, and conclusive in its effect, will be a sufficient apology for this attempt ; and the rather so, because the intention of the Legislature is not manifested in the wording of the Act, as is proved by the many questions that have arisen on its construction.
