The Plaintiff is certainly not within the words of the proviso, and it does not appear to the Court, that he falls within the true meaning and spirit of it. Great is. the intercourse between the citizens of this State and the citizens of other States, particularly adjoining States $ and if suits were permitted to be brought on that account against our own citizens, at any distance of time, by citizens of other States, the mischief would be great. Let the rule for a new trial be discharged.",

Walton and Freeman.\nCase agreed from Gates.\n.The saving1 in the statute of limitations, as to persons \u201c beyond seas,\u201d does not extend to persons resident in other States of the Union.\nThe Defendants gave a letter to Copeland and Freeman, directed and to be delivered to the Plaintiff, and therein requested the Plaintiff to furnish Copeland and Freeman with goods to the amount of two thousand dollars, and promised to be securities for the payment of that sum. The goods were accordingly furnished by the Plaintiff, and after more than three years had elapsed from the delivery of the goods, this action was brought, to which the Defendants pleaded, \u201c that they had not assumed within three years,\u201d and rested their defence \u00abpon the statute of limitations. The Plaintiff, at the time he delivered the goods, and continually afterwards up to the time of bringing this suit, resided at Suffolk, in the State of Virginia. There was a verdict for the Defendants ; and the Plaintiff having obtained a rule for a new trial, it is submitted to the Supreme Court to decide, \u201c Whether the saving in' the statute of limitations, 1715, ch. 27, sec. 9, as to persons beyond seas, extends \u2022to a person resident in the State of Virginia ?\u201d"
