Stat. 497, $ 2,) authorized a judge at chambers to vacate an erroneous judgment, but since the adoption of the code of procedure, that authority has been taken away under the terms of Section 417.</p> <p>2. A Circuit judge has now no power at chambers to vacate a judgment as eivroneous and order a trial de novo, upon the merits, as in this case, where the motion was based upon the ground that after-discovered evidence showed payment.</p>
