Decree or dismiss not to be renewed after six years.
|
144. No decree or dismiss to be made or pronounced, by any assistant barrister, shall be renewed at any time after six years from the time of the making or pronouncing the same; but the debt and costs therein shall, after seven years from the making of the original decree or dismiss, be absolutely extinguished, and shall not be capable of being enforced by any proceeding whatsoever; and such decree or dismiss, or renewal thereof, shall not be revived or kept in force by any parol evidence or promise to pay the same or any part thereof, or by any evidence of a part payment thereof: Provided nevertheless, that if the defendant or defendants shall execute any new security in writing for such debt or costs, such new security shall be of full force and effect in law.
