Opinion

Battle, J.

Ve agree with his Honor that what the defendant said to the witness Roberts, within six months before the commencement of the action, was not a repetition of the charge which he had previously made to the same witness against the plaintiff It was nothing more than an acknowledgment of the fact that he had spoken the words on a former occasion; and that speaking having been more than six months before the suit was brought, the statute of limitations was a bar to it.

This makes it unnecessary for us to decide whether the words were actionable, and upon that question, therefore, we do not express an opinion.

Per Curiam.

Judgment affirmed.
