        "text": "Mr. Justice Sears\ndelivered the opinion of the Court.\nAt the April term, 1894, of the Superior Court, a judgment was entered against plaintiff in error by confession, upon a promissory note, with warrant of attorney, made by her and one James P. Caruthers. At' the June term, 1897, of the court a motion was made by plaintiff in error to vacate the judgment, and for leave to plead. Affidavits were filed in support of the motion. The motion was overruled. To review the order overruling the motion, this writ of error is brought.\nAssignments of error numbered 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, all go to the entering of the judgment, are not well assigned, and hence can not be considered. The cognovit waived all errors. In such case a writ of error will not lie to review a judgment by confession. Little v. Dyer, 35 Ill. App. 85; Werkmeister v. Beaumont, 46 Ill. App. 369; Frear v. Commercial N. B., 73 Ill. 473; Hall v. Hamilton, 74 Ill. 437.\nThe judgment was confessed in open court, and it is presumed that the authority to confess the judgment was passed upon by the court and found sufficient. Hall v. Jones, 32 Ill. 38.\nA bad declaration is cured by the confession of the judgment. Iglehart v. Chicago M., etc., Ins. Co., 35 Ill. 514.\nNor can a variance between.the declaration and the note be availed of when judgment is confessed. Adam v. Arnold, 86 Ill. 185.\nThe second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth errors assigned go to the order overruling the motion to vacate, and for leave to plead. To enable this court to pass upon the action of the trial court in thus ordering, it is essential that we have before us all the evidence heard by the court in support of the motion. In no other way can we determine what equitable grounds were presented to the trial court upon its consideration of all the evidence. Unfortunately the abstract here fails to show that all the evidence is preserved by bill of exceptions. Nor is it a fault in preparation of abstract, for the bill of exceptions as presented by the record, is insufficient, and does not purport to contain all the evidence.\nCourts of review will not, and in reason can not, base any judicial action upon evidence presented in part only, except it be upon the presumption that the evidence omitted was such as to justify the action of the trial court. Culliner v. Nash, 76 Ill. 515; Henry v. Halloway, 78 Ill. 356; Board of Trustees v. Misenheimer, 89 Ill. 151.\nWe are .therefore compelled to decline to pass upon the sufficiency of equitable grounds as shown by such of the evidence as is brought here.\nThe order of the Superior Court is affirmed.",

Foster, attorney for plaintiff in error.\nPaddock, Wright & Billings and E. A. Otis, attorneys for defendant in error.\nA judgment by confession can not be disturbed after the term at which it is entered, upon the ground of errors or irregularity. Reynertson v. Central Lumber Co., 69 Ill. App. 131; Knox et al. v. Winsted Savings Bank, 57 Ill. 330; Hall v. Jones, 32 Ill. 38; Iglehart v. Chicago, Marine, etc., Ins. Co., 35 Ill. 514; Rising v. Brainard, 36 Ill. 79.\nThe question upon the hearing of the motion to vacate the judgment was whether there was any equitable reason for opening the judgment. Farwell et al. v. Huston, 151 Ill. 239; Packer v. Roberts, 140 Ill. 9; Rising v. Brainard, 36 Ill. 79.\nThe judgment was confessed in open court by warrant of attorney, and the legal presumption is that the authority to confess it was judicially passed upon. Hall v. Jones, 32 Ill. 38; Iglehart v. Chicago Marine, etc., Ins. Co., 35 Ill. 514; Iglehart v. Church, 35 Ill. 255; Osgood v. Blackmore, 59 Ill. 261.\nThe motion to vacate the judgment was not made in apt time. Hall v. Jones, 32 Ill. 38; Austin v. Lott, 28 Ill. 519; Eberstein v. Willets, 134 Ill. 101; Bush v. Sherman, 80 Ill. 160; Hoyt v. Pawtucket I. F. S., 110 Ill. 390.\nAn appeal or writ of error does not lie from the judgment itself in this case, but only from the order overruling the motion to vacate the judgment. Knox v. Winsted Bank, 57 Ill. 330; Werkmeister v. Beaumont, 46 Ill. App. 369.\nThere being no pretense of any fraud, duress or other misconduct on.the part of defendant in error, nor any knowledge upon his part of any such fraud, duress or other misconduct having been practiced, the note and the judgment thereon were valid.
