1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Fenner, J.
This case was before us in 1886, when we rendered the opiuion and decree reported in 88 Ann. 213.
We then remanded the case for further evidence on the question whether the prescription of ten years pleaded by defendant was defeated by suspension resulting from the minority of plaintiffs.
Tlie record now returns to ns wifhinll proof that plaintiff, R. R. Barrow, was fully emancipated in 1876 and became 21 years of age in 1879, and that Mrs. Slatter, the other plaintiff, only attained the age of majority in 1875, though emancipated by marriage…
