Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

The statute of limitations begins to run against an administrator from the date of the letter of administration. This has been decided to be the time of “giving bond” as these words are used in R. L. c. 141, § 9. Wells v. Child, 12 Allen, 330. *200Therefore these actions were brought seasonably. It is too plain for discussion that there is nothing at variance with this' in Morrissey v. Morrissey, 180 Mass. 480.

Exceptions overruled.
