“"We are of the opinion * * * that when [the plaintiff] permitted [the defendant] to go into the State of New York and permitted the bar of the statutes of that State to become complete, he lost all right, under the laws of Illinois, thereafter to maintain suit against him, and that when he came into the State of Illinois he came clothed with all the privileges that the law of the State of New York conferred upon him. This question we have decided in the case of [ McVeigh ] * * *." Strong, 204 Ill. at 37 , 68 N.E. 556 , citing McVeigh, 87 Ill. 708 .”
