        "text": "Pleasants, J.\nAt the September term, A. D. 1877, there\n\u25a0 was an interlocutory judgment by default in favor of Wilson, Bacon and Carpenter, against Baragwanath, impleaded with Pirn, and damages assessed and final judgment rendered thereon for said damages and for costs.\nIn March, 1879, said defendant having been informed that said Carpenter had died before the commencement of said suit; gave notice to plaintiffs\u2019 attorney of a motion for the 25th of that month to vacate said judgment and quash the execution issued' thereon, on that ground, and supported said motion by his affidavit setting forth said information and his belief thereof.\nThis motion was continued to the following day, when the plaintiffs\u2019 attorney, without notice to said defendant or his attorney, neither of whom were then present in court, entered his cross-motion to strike the name of said Carpenter from the record of said judgment and from all the papers in said cause, which was allowed. \u2022\nFTotice was afterwards given to said plaintiffs and to their attorney,'to appear in said court on the 4th day of April, 1879, at 10 o\u2019clock, a. m., and take up for hearing the original motion to vacate said judgment and quash the execution. This motion the court refused to hear, to which refusal defendant excepted, and further moved to set aside the order of March 26th, to strike the name of Carpenter from the record of said judgment and from the papers filed in said cause, which the court overruled, and defendant excepted. From these orders and rulings defendant prayed an appeal, which was allowed, and he here assigns for error the overruling of said last mentioned motion, the sustaining of the said cross-motion, and the refusal to hear said original motion.\nThat the judgment was not void by reason of the'death of one of the parties named as co-plaintiff before the commencement of the suit is manifest from the well established rule that such a fact can be taken advantage of only by a plea in abatement. Camden v. Eobertson, 2 Scam. 507.\nWhile the record may at a subsequent term, upon due.notice and proper proof, be so amended as to make it truly set forth the action of the court, when there is anything certain, as the judge\u2019s minutes, by which to amend, (Church v. English, 81 Ill. 442;) yet the court has no power, upon motion, to vacate a judgment actually, regularly, finally and without taint of fraud entered of a previous term: Coursen v. Hixon, 78 Ill. 339; Windett v. Hamilton, 52 Ill. 180; McKindley v. Buck, 43 Ill. 488; Cook v. Wood, 24 Ill. 295.\nHor does the statute which substitutes motions for writs of error eoram nobis enlarge its powers in this respect, Coursen v. Hixon, and McKindley v. Buck, supra.\nThe Superior Court did not err, therefore, in refusing to vacate said judgment.\nBut upon the same authorities above cited, and for reasons therein stated, the court has no more power, upon motion after the term has passed, to change its judgment, actually rendered, or the record thereof, except in a mere matter of form within the Statute of Jeofails; and the striking out of the name of a party is not such a matter. Maxcy v. Padfield, 1 Scam. 590; Luke v. Morse, 11 Ill. 587.\nThe Superior Court did err, therefore, in allowing the motion, and making the order to strike the name of said Carpenter from the record of said judgment. For which error the said order is reversed.\nOrder reversed.",

Such fact can only be taken advantage of by plea in abatement.\n2. Practice\u2014Amending record\u2014Vacating judgment.\u2014A record may be amended at a term subsequent to rendering judgment, upon due notice and proper proof; but a court has no power to vacate a judgment actually and finally, without fraud, entered at a previous term.\n3. Material amendments not allowed.\u2014A court has no power, upon motion, after a term has passed, to change its judgment or the record thereof by striking out the name of a party plaintiff. Such an amendment is not within the statute of jeofails.\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. Joseph E. Gary, Judge, presiding.\nOpinion filed May 28, 1879.\nMr. Charles J. Beattie, for appellant;\nthat it was proper to have the error corrected on motion, cited Rev. Stat. 1877, Chap. 110, \u00a7 67; Rev. Stat. 1877, 742.\nThe judgment was erroneous: McCreery v.
