The actin in this case had been brought in the Summary Court in respect to a number of separate bills of casts, for separate business, all of which had been done at a period exceeding three years from the commerciment of the suit. Mr. Justice Wise One was within the period: Mr. Francis stood corrected. But all the items were separate.
The Acting Chief Justice said that in the case of attorneys' bills he had heard it argued that they were continuous-that each was connected with the preceding one, but that was in respect to taxation.
Mr. Francis thought the greater portion of these bills were for separate and distinct work-
there were no continuous items in one to carry

Mr. Francis submitted that Ordinance XIV of 1883 would over-side all provisions contained in that Act.
The Acting Chief Justice said that if the Act was in force the Statute of Limitations would date from the delivery of the bill.
Mr. Francis contended that the Act was not in force. That question had not been raised at the bearing the question really was with reference did not know when the bills were sent in-he did to the dates when the work was finished. He
