delivered the opinion of the .court.

Fleming brought an action against Breitner to set aside a judgment of a justice of the peace, in unlawful detainer, ousting him from the possession, of a rooming house. His bill was dismissed and he brings error..

The ground of his action was that the justice judgment was procured by fraud, but his evidence shows no fraud in procuring the judgment (he was served and appeared), hut only in procuring a certain chattel mortgage which figured in the detainer case. It need not he said that the district court could not set aside a judgment on such ground.

The judgment is affirmed.
