Syllabus

<p>JUDGMENT — LIMITATION ON REVIVAL.</p> <p>Where a motion for the revival of a judgment was made just before the expiration of the six year limitation thereon, but notice thereof was not served on the adverse party until nearly two years thereafter, the judgment could not be revived, under Laws 1891, p. 165, which provides that no judgment shall be revived unless proceedings therefor shall be commenced within six years after the date of its rendition, inasmuch as thé procedure did not follow the statute in force governing the commencement of actions and, in case of the inapplicability of that statute, the service did not follow upon the suing out of the writ within such a reasonable time as to constitute one continuous transaction.</p>
