A new right accrued to the said executors by the said judgment of revivor. Semble-The time of limitation prescribed by the 3 & 4 W. 4, c. 27, s. 40, begins to run from the entry of the original judgment, and not from the date of a judgment of revivor- except that where a new right was conferred by the judgment of revivor (as where the judgment was revived at the suit of the executors of the conusee), the money sought to be recovered may he considered to have been secured to them by that judgment within the true meaning of the 40th section of the 3 & 4 W. 4, c. 27; and the time, therefore, begins to run from the date of such a judgment in wire facias.
