Syllabus

<p>1. Pleading.—Under a well settled rule of practice, exceptions to pleading on which no ruling is sought from, the district judge will be regarded on appeal as waived.</p> <p>2. Award.— While an award of arbitrators may be binding, though a ministerial authority be reserved therein to be thereafter exercised, such as the correction of errors of computation apparent from the award itself, yet if on its face it contains the declaration by the arbitrators that they will correct “ any errors that may be discovered,” it is void.</p> <p>3. Judgment.— The district court has full control of its judgments until the close of the term, and may of its own motion set aside or reform the same.</p>
