Syllabus

<p>Lessor and lessee — Surety—Change of original terms.</p> <p>If lessors and lessees changed the terms of the original contract without consent of the surety on the lease and the property remained in the possession of the lessor, the surety cannot be held for the rent.</p> <p>Opening judgment — Review of discretion.</p> <p>An application to open judgment is an appeal to the equitable powers of the court, and the action of the court in opening judgment and letting defendant into a defense will not be disturbed by the appellate court where there is nothing to show an abuse of discretion.</p>
