1Opinion of the Court
NEARN, Judge.
Harvest Corporation filed suit against the defendants Ernst & Whinney 1 a partnership and Ernst & Ernst a partnership. By motion to dismiss the defendants relied upon the three year statute of limitations as embodied in T.C.A. § 28-305. The Chancellor held the claim was barred by that statute of limitations and granted the motion to dismiss. The defendants have appealed and insist that the cause of action is governed by the six year statute of limitations set forth in T.C.A. § 28-309 and therefore is not barred.
The matter is for our determination only on the pleadings.
