¶1— The judgment in this case was rendered 13th September, 1860, anffthe writ of error sued out on the 7th September, 1864, more than two years after the rendition of the judgment.
¶2To obtain a review of this case, plaintiff in error relies on section 4 of the stay law, which provides that, whilst *159in force, “the statute of limitation” shall not he computed. The question presented is this: Is the time (two years) in which a writ of error may be sued out a statute of limitation in the sense in which that term is used? "We think not. The legislature only designed to suspend those statutes which extinguished or set up a bar to the right of recovering on the cause of action.
¶3This seems to be free from doubt when we refer to section 1 of the same act, which provides that it shall not be construed so as to interfere with the action of the Supreme Court in deciding “ all cases as now directed by law.”
¶4Inasmuch as plaintiff in error is precluded by the statute, whose aid he invokes, as well as by the law in force prior to its enactment, we have passed upon it. Nevertheless we decline tq discuss the constitutionality of the act in question, as it does not necessarily arise.
¶5Dismissed.
