Syllabus

<p>Appeals — Practice, S. G. — Discretion of court — Opening judgment.</p> <p>An application to open judgment is addressed to the discretion of the court which has not been taken away by the Act of May 20,1891, P. L. 101.</p> <p>. It is not an abuse of discretion for the court to refuse to open a judgment entered on a verdict after a regular trial, where defendant’s counsel did not notify him of the time of the trial, and where the defendant had actual notice that the case would likely be placed on the trial list at the term it was tried, but gave no personal attention to the matter.</p>
