   Per Curiam :

It was decided in the case of Campbell v. Harris, 30 Ill. 395, that the action of debt on promissory notes made out of this State, and the cause of action on which accrued out of this State, before the passage of the limitation law of February 10, 1819, was not affected by any statute of limitation in force in this State. This case is precisely like that, and must be governed by the decision in that case.

The judgment of the court below must be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
