An irregular judgment may be set aside at any time, but a regular judgment cannot be set aside after the term of the court which *Page 32 
rendered it. So the law stood before C. C. P., and so it stands now, except that under C. C. P., sec. 133, even a regular judgment may be set aside for mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect of the party against whom it is rendered, if motion is made within on year.
More than a year had expired before the motion was made in this case, and, therefore, it cannot be allowed.
PER CURIAM.                                             Affirmed.
