10.The lower appellate Court also came to the conclusion with reference to the sixth issue that the plaintiffs' suit was barred by the law of limitation. The learned District Judge held that there was no acknowledgment of liability in the deed of sale executed in favour of the plaintiffs, Ex. G-1. He was clearly wrong in that conclusion. In that sale-deed the debt due by the mortgagors is clearly referred to and acknowledged and it is towards such debt the sale-deed is alleged to be taken. We must, therefore, hold that apart from other contentions the document contains a sufficient acknowledgment of liability so as to give rise to a fresh starting point for limitation. That was in July, 1903, and the plaint was put into Court within twelve years thereof, namely, in January, 1915. If, therefore, the lower Courts were wrong in dismissing the plaintiffs' action altogether, the next question for consideration is in respect of what properties the plaintiffs are entitled to a decree.
