Mr. Justice McSurely delivered the opinion of the court. 3. Judgment, § 298* — when may not be set aside at subsequent term. An order of the Circuit Court dismissing an appeal by administrators from an allowance of a claim against an estate in the Probate Court becomes final at the expiration of the term and cannot be set aside on motion at a subsequent term. 4. Judgment, § 273* — what do not constitute errors of fact. The absence of an appearance by claimant at the time of the making of a motion by its attorneys for the dismissal of an appeal by administrators from the allowance of a claim in the Probate Court ,to the Circuit Court and certain misunderstandings on the part of the attorneys for the administrators which gave rise to their fail-ure to be present at the time the cause was called for trial, held not to be errors of fact within the Practice Act, sec. 89 (J. & A. 1i 8626), providing that errors in fact which could have been corrected by the writ of error eoram nobis at common law may be corrected by the court in which the errors were committed, upon motion in writing, made at any time within five yearS after rendition of the final judgment, so as to not warrant the granting of the motion to vacate a judgment of dismissal of the appeal. 5. Executobs and administratobs, § 282* — when appeal should be dismissed by court on its own motion. It is the duty of the court, on the call of a case for trial which had been appealed to the Circuit Court from the Probate Court by the administrators of an estate, in the absence of appellants, to dismiss the appeal whether the appellee so moves or not.
