Syllabus

<p>Judgment — Vacation — Second Judgment. After entry of final judgment in a cause, the court is without power to enter another, until the first is regularly cancelled or set aside; and the first judgment is not vacated by a second judgment making no mention of the first.</p> <p>Judgment — Stay—Motion Non Obstante Veredicto. A motion for judgment non obstante veredicto does not operate as a stay preventing the entry of a judgment, when it was not treated or considered as a motion for a new trial.</p> <p>Appeal — Decision — Review — Judgment Not Appealed From. Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1737, providing that the supreme court may affirm, reverse, or modify the judgment appealed from, or direct the proper judgment to be entered, does not authorize the court, upon appeal from a judgment which was void because of a prior final judgment in the cause, to review or modify the first judgment which was not appealed from.</p>
