<p>New trial in ejeotment, under the statute. When a motion is made by a party for a new trial, in open court, on the same day a judgment is rendered in an ejectment suit, and he pays all the costs within two days thereafter, and during the same term of court, he has done all he is required to do to entitle him to a new trial under the statute, and the court has power to vacate the judgment and award a new trial in such case, even after the expiration of the period limited by the statute, and should do so at the request of the party.</p>
