Syllabus

<p>Judgment — Bar—Res Judicata — Matters Concluded. The denial of a motion to vacate a judgment, upon the ground of inadvertence and surprise, from which no appeal was prosecuted, is res judicata in an action in equity to set aside the judgment upon the same grounds.</p> <p>Judgments — Actions to Set Aside — Limitations—Excuse. An action in equity to set aside a judgment must be brought within one year, and it is no excuse that plaintiff mistook his remedy until after the year had expired.</p>
