Syllabus

<p>Rule of Court — Court and Suitors Bound Thereby — Rehearing.</p> <p>The supreme court has the inherent right to prescribe rules for the orderly conduct of its business, not repugnant to law.</p> <p>Such rules may be changed, modified or rescinded by the power from which they emanated; but, while they are in force, they must be applied to all cases falling within them. No discretion can be exercised as to their application, unless such discretion be authorized by the rules themselves. The court, equally with suitors, is bound by its rules.</p> <p>A rule of the supreme court, prescribing a certain time within which petitions for rehearing shall be filed after the judgment, order, or decision of the court is announced, vests in the court no discretion to grant a rehearing after the time, limited by the rule, has expired.</p>
