• 39 Tex. 132

Syllabus

<p>1. It is error for the District Court to disregard additional causes for a new trial discovered and alleged after the filing of the original motion, and after two days from the trial.</p> <p>2. In a cause taken by appeal from a justice’s court to the District Court, • and in which a motion for new trial has been overruled, an original bill for new trial may be entertained, and from the action of the court on such bill appeal lies to the Supreme Court.</p> <p>3. It would seem that a judgment obtained by fraud or false swearing would be invalid.</p> <p>4. Perjury not discovered in time to be shown in a motion for a new trial may be made available in a bill for that purpose.</p>
