Syllabus

<p>Estate of Decedents. Insolvency. Suits against. Statute of limitation.</p> <p>There was no statute of Mississippi after the code of 1857 became operative, November 1, 1857, and before the code of 1880 went into effect, November 1, 1880, prohibiting suits upon debts due from the insolvent estate of a decedent, although there was such a statute both before (Laws 1821, p. 72; Hutchinson’s Code, p. 668) and afterwards (Code 1880, § 2062; Code 1892, § 1946); hence the statutes of limitation against such debts were not suspended during said period of time by the decree of insolvency.
