! Ludeling, C. J. This suit is upon drafts, due the twentieth of May, 1862. Citations were served on the twenty-fourth of June, 1868. More than five years having elapsed after the maturity of the drafts, before citation, the plea of prescription must be sustained. Smith v. Stewart, 21 An. It is therefore ordered that the judgment of the lower court be affirmed, with costs of appeal.
