Syllabus

<p>Limitation of Actions in case of Departure from State.—If, when the cause of action here accrues, the person against whom the same exists resides in the State, and he afterwards departs from the State, his successive absences from the State must be aggregated together and deducted from the whole time which has elapsed since the cause of action accrued, and the balance is the time the Statute of Limitations has run.</p> <p>Idem.—If the Statute of Limitations has been set in motion by a departure from the State, and is then interrupted by a return, it commences running again by a second absence from the State.</p>
