QUIVEY v. HALL and HUGGINS, Administrators of the Estate of Cook, Deceased

         I. This is not an action upon a judgment, but simply a suit to compel the recognition of a claim against an estate; and plaintiff had a right to present the judgment against Cook to the defendants as administrators at any time within ten months after the first publication of a notice to creditors of the estate to present their claims. (Wood's Digest, art. 2284, secs. 128-130; art. 2334, sec. 239.) But the complaint does not aver that such notice was ever published; and hence does not show prima facie that the cause of action is barred, and the demurrer was properly overruled. (12 Cal. 311.)

         JUDGES: Baldwin, J. delivered the opinion of the Court. Field, C. J. and Cope, J. concurring.
