Syllabus

<p>1. Amendment of record. A court has power to amend its own records at a subsequent term, upon notice to parties interested, and, as between the original parties, it seems there is no limitation as to the time in which such amendments may be allowed; but rights acquired by persons not parties to the record, previous to any such amendments, are not affected thereby.</p> <p>3. Same—whether the record when amended will he erroneous or not, is not a question on a motion to amend. Upon an application to amend a record at a subsequent term so as to show what orders were in fact mad< at a previous term, the question as to whether such orders were rightfully made, does not arise.</p> <p>3. Same—may he amended after the cause is removed from the court on change of venue. The fact the venue of a cause has been changed and the cause tried in the court to which it was changed, does not deprive the court where the cause originated, of jurisdiction to amend its record made in the cause previous to such change of venue.</p>
