1. ““We are not aware that the case of Whitwell & Hoover v. Emory, supra, has ever been overruled. It appears to be in force now. A like rule prevails in other States, and in some of them a more restricted one. The rule is a salutary one, and without it litigants would never know when their matters had reached a final stage. We are also impressed that where judgments are amended at the same term the parties who will be affected should have notice. The defeated party might acquiesce in the judgment rendered. After amendment he might desire to appeal, and if he were not entitled to notice the time in which an appeal could be taken might expire before he was advised of the amendment.” Partch v. Baird, 227 Mich. 660 .”
