1. “A partial payment, to operate as a new promise and avoid the bar of the statute of limitations, must be made under such circumstances as to warrant a clear inference that the debtor recognized the debt as an existing liability, and indicated his willingness, or at least an obligation, to pay the balance. See In re Estate of Shea (1929), 198 Wis. 613 , 225 N.W. 326 , and Stewart v. Industrial Comm. (1940), 236 Wis. 167 , 294 N.W. 515 . Such rule is in accordance with the decided weight of authority in the United States.”
