        "text": "Battle, J.\nAn action was brought in the name of Bodenheimer, Landau & Company against Robert Liddell, before a justice of the peace of Clay County, to recover the possession of certain personal property. Plaintiffs recovered judgment, and the defendant appealed to the circuit court.\nIn the circuit court (the term is not shown) plaintiffs represented to the court that the action was brought without their ronsent, and asked that it be dismissed, and thereupon S. D. Hawkins, who had possession of the property in controversy and claimed the same, appeared, and asked that he be substituted for plaintiffs, and that the action proceed in his name as such. The action was dismissed as to Bodenheimer, Landau & Company, and revived in the narrie of S. D. Hawkins as plaintiff. This order was not entered of record.\nAt the January, 1894, term of the Clay Circuit Court for the Eastern District, the action proceeded in the names of Bodenheimer, Landau & Company and S. D. Hawkins, plaintiffs, against Robert Liddell and John Matthews Apparatus Company, defendants, and Hawkins recovered judgment against the defendants for the property in controversy. This proceeding was had after the action was dismissed as to Bodenheimer, Landau & Company. On motion of the defendants the judgment in favor of Hawkins was set aside, and a new trial was granted.\nAt the August, 1895, term of the Clay Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Clay County, the action was called for trial, and the plaintiffs failed to appear. Judgment by default was rendered against Bodenheimer, Landau & Company in favor of the defendant, Robert Liddell, for the property in controversy and costs.\nIn August, 1901, Bodenheimer, Landau & Company filed an application in Clay Circuit Court for the Eastern District, in which they stated the foregoing facts, and asked that the order omitted from the record be entered nunc pro tunc. All parties appeared, and the court heard the application and the evidence adduced in respect thereto, and found that the order was made, and ordered that it be entered, and ordered that the judgment in favor of Liddell against Bodenheimer, Landau & Company for property be corrected so as to be,, against Hawkins, and to show that Bodenheimer, Landau & Company were and are not parties thereto; and Liddell appealed.\nParol evidence of an order omitted from the record, if satisfactory, is sufficient to authorize a nunc pro tunc order or judgment. Bobo v. State, 40 Ark. 224; Ward v. Magness, 75 Ark. 12. The application for the order was not barred by the statute of limitations. 1 Freeman, Judgments (4 Ed.), \u00a7 73, and cases cited.\nThe court erred in setting aside or modifying a judgment which was actually rendered. It had no authority to set aside or modify a judgment after the term at which it was rendered has expired, on application for a nunc pro tunc order.\nThe nunc pro tunc order is affirmed, and the order setting aside or modifying a judgment rendered at a previous term is reversed.\nHibb, C. J., did not participate.",

Judgment \u2014 amendment.\u2014Parol evidence that an order was omitted from the record, if satisfactory, is sufficient to authorize its entry nunc pro tunc. (Page 365.)\n2. Same \u2014 Time of amendment. \u2014 There is no limitation to the time within which an order omitted from the record may be restored. (Page 365.)\n3. Same \u2014 modification after term. \u2014 A court has no authority to set aside or modify a judgment after the term at which it was rendered, even though it was not entered until the term at which the application to set aside or modify it was made. (Page 365.)\nAppeal from Clay Circuit Court, Eastern District; Allen N. Hughes, Judge;\nreversed in part.\nF. G. Taylor, for appellant.\nWhile parol evidence is competent to show that a court made an order or rendered a judgment which by inadvertence was omitted from the record, such evidence is not admissible to contradict or change a record already made. 86 S. W. 822; 40 Ark. 224; 50 Ark. 338; 49 Ark. 397.\nJ. D.
