Lis mota (the dispute commenced). Declarations of deceased members of a family, in matters of pedigree, are inadmissible in evidence, if made after a controversy has arisen as to the facts on which the claim is founded (or, as it is called, post litem motam), which for that purpose is to be deemed the commencement of the lis mota.
