SUPREME COURT PRACTICE. Correction of errors at subsequent term.
A judgment in the supreme court against the sureties on the appeal bond for costs and damag-es, when they were liable for costs only, will be corrected on motion at a subsequent term. [Power of courts to correct judgments rendered at former terms. Code, secs. 4597-4600, 6334-6336, and notes. See McNew v. Rogers, ante, 36; Bailen v. Earnsworth, post, 58.]
A motion was made to amend a judgment entered at a former term of the supreme court, in an action of assumpsit for use and occupation which had been brought here by appeal on the part of the defendant. The judgment here was entered against the defendant and his sureties in the appeal bond, for costs and damages.

Opinion:
McKinney, J.:
The judgment was erroneous in this respect, and will be corrected and entered against the defendant for costs and damages, and against his sureties' for cost only.
Motion allowed.
