¶1Judgment — -Manifest error; for said Allen’s action was no bar to Rogers’s suing for his debt; and the statute is peremptory unless the debt is sued for within the time limited, and said Allen’s action did not put said Rogers’s book in suit, although he might have recovered in that action the balance which was due to him.
