Opinion

Per Curiam.

We think that the word “action,” as used in Pub. Stat. R. I. cap. 189, § 8, and cap. 205, § 9, which provide that no action shall be brought against any executor or administrator in his said capacity within one year after the will shall be proved or administration granted, except for certain causes specified, applies only to actions, strictly so called, at law, and not to suits in equity, and therefore that the plea of the respondent executor of the will of Dennis must be overruled.
