It is insisted that the writ of error was not brought within time. Section 1008 of the Revised Statutes declares that 'no judgment, decree, or order of a circuit or district court, in any civil action at law, or in equity, shall be reviewed in the supreme court, on writ of error or appeal, unless the writ of error is brought or the appeal taken within two years after the entry of such judgment, decree, or order.' This rule is applicable to writs of error to the state courts in like manner as to circuit courts.
