491. "A consent degree is not, in a strict legal sense 'a judicial sentence,' but it is in the nature of a solemn contract and which cannot be amended or in any way varied, without the like consent, or reheard in the court that rendered it, appealed from, or reversed ■ upon a writ of error or bill for review."
