This position is untenable as the judgment was rendered and the proceedings therein closed before such application was made, and we do not understand that simply making application to get rid of an unlawful judgment, after it had been entered, would in any manner be considered as giving the court original jurisdiction to enter the judgment; to do so would deprive the defendant in such suit, without his consent, of trial by jury.””
