Syllabus

<p>Opening judgment — Jurisdictions expire with the term.</p> <p>The power of the court to set aside a judgment obtained adversely and grant a new trial expires with the term at which the judgment is entered.</p> <p>Leave given on March 9 to reargue a motion for a new trial in a case where an adverse verdict was obtained in the preceding term does not open an order of March 7 refusing the motion; hence the court is without power in a following term to set aside the order of March 7, open the judgment by an order made in July, two terms after the judgment and one term after the motion for reargument had been refused.</p>
