Wood v. Ledgerwood
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Wood v. Ledgerwood, 210 F. 163 (5th Cir. 1913)
127 C.C.A. 13; 1913 U.S. App. LEXIS 1898
Cael, Pardee, Sheeby
Wood v. Ledgerwood
Opinion of the Court
The note upon which the debt sought to be proved is founded is barred upon-its face by the Texas statute of limitations of four years. The extensions relied upon to toll the statute having been made subsequent to the time the debt became due, and not being in writing and signed by the bankrupt, are not effective. See article 3370, R. S. Texas 1895; article 5705, R. S. Texas 1911.
The ruling of the court below rejecting the proof of debt was correct.
Affirmed.
