Opinion:
Opinion by
Ector, P. J.
§ 48. Excessive judgment; remittitur. Judgment by default was excessive. In the supreme court the attorney for plaintiffs below entered a remitter for the excess. If this had been done in the lower court before defendant had filed his petition and bond for- writ of error, the judgment would be affirmed; but as this was not done until defendant had taken steps, onerous in their nature, to correct the error, the defendant should not be taxed with costs in this court.
