Syllabus

<p>NEW TRIAL — EXTENSION OF TIME FOR APPLICATION-REPEAL BY IMPLICATION.</p> <p>Laws 1897, p. 13, which requires a motion for a new trial to be filed within two days after verdict rendered does not repeal by implication, so far as motions for new trial are concerned, Laws 1893, p. 414, § 24, which provides that “the court may enlarge or extend the time, for good cause shown, within which, by statute, any act is to be done, proceeding had or taken, notice of paper filed or served, or may, on such terms as are just, permit the same to he done or supplied after the time therefor has expired,” and consequently the action of the court on the day following the rendition of a verdict, in granting an extension of twelve days’ time in which to file a motion for a new trial, was not erroneous.</p>
