Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Clayton

delivered the opinion of the court.

A single principle of law disposes of this case. The claim of the complainants is fully barred by the statute of limitations. Cumulative disabilities are not allowed in the construction of the statute. Angelí on Lim. 207, 520.

There are also one or two other points which would probably prove fatal to the complainants, but it is unnecessary to examine them.

The decree dismissing the bill is affirmed.
