Section 21 of the civil code imports into the statute of limitations of this state, under certain conditions, the limitations of other states which have barred action there; but the converse is not true, and the section does not extend generally the time within ■ which suit may b.e brought here on a cause of action arising between nonresidents, which has not become barred by the more liberal statute of the foreign state.</p> <p>2. Same. The rule stated applied, and held, the four-year statute of limitations of California did not govern a claim by a resident of California against the estate in this state of a person who died a resident of California, but the claim was barred by the three-year statute of Iimita- • tions of this state.</p>
