An amendment to a judgment against the estate of a person- and against the executrix of such person by striking out the words as to the estate and adding words requiring the claim \u201cto be paid in due cpurse of administration,\u201d makes a change in a matter of mere form and not of substance, and such amendment may be made after the term from the pleadings and files in the case and the entries in the clerk\u2019s minute books.\n2. Executobs and adminxstbatobs, \u00a7 272*\u2014when claim against estate may he classified in judgment. The classification of a claim against a deceased person in a judgment is a matter of form and is proper under the statutes as to the allowance of claims against estates.\n3. Judgment, \u00a7 252*\u2014when judgment may he amended after term. Consent to the entering of a judgment against an estate goes to the substance rather than to the form of the judgment, and the court may under the statute of amendments and jeofails, correct such judgment in order to render it effective \u201cso that it shall not be reversed and annulled.\u201d\nEugene M. Bumphrey, for appellant.\nGeorge W. Wilbur, for appellees.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vois. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
