Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

Kinsey C. J.

There must be an affidavit detailing the circumstances, and if merits appear, the court will admit the plea provided the plaintiff has not lost a trial; but a regular judgment is not to be set aside where plaintiff has lost an assizes.

In this case the plaintiff has lost an assizes, and the motion, even jf regularly brought forward, must be refused.
