Coomer v. Little
Supreme Court of North Carolina
Coomer v. Little, 1 N.C. 92 (N.C. 1800)
Coomer v. Little
Opinion of the Court
Nothing appears in this case, to take it out of the general principle, that the statute of limitations begins to run from the time the Plaintiff has cause of action against the Defendant. In the year 1786, the Defendant received the money to the use of the Plaintiff, who might then have instituted a suit, and consequently, in three years from that time, the pleading the statute would bar his recovery.
