698 STATE BANK VS. PRYOR ET AL. [12 STATE BANK 7'S. PRYOR ET AL. See Woods vs. State Bank, ante. Writ of Error to Pulaski Circuit Court. CARROLL and S. H. HEMPSTEAD, for plaintiff. WATKINS & CURRAN, contra. Mr. Justice SCOTT delivered the opinion of the court. The pleadings in this case are, in substance like those in the case of Moses R. Woods v. The State Bank, just decided, and the only evidence adduced on the trial, as shown by the bill of exceptions, was a payment on the 1st September, 1849, more than two months after the judgment was renddred ; and the judgment in the court below was for the defendant. Even if the date of the payment be a clerical error, and was in fact made on the Ist of September, 1844, as is stated in the brief of the attorney for the Bank, instead of 1849, as is shown in the bill of exceptions, still there would be no ground for reversal upon this record, the Bank not having alleged and proven sufficient matter to displace the statute bar interposed by the defendant. Finding no error in the record, the judgment must be affirmed with costs. NOTE. State Bank v. Dodd et al. went off under the above decision, the facts being substantially similar.
 You are being directed to the most recent version of the statute which may not be the version considered at the time of the judgment.
