This is a motion to recall and correct the remittitur originally issued herein.

The judgment of the superior court was reversed October 31, 1899, without inserting in the order any direction as to costs (126 Cal. 516), and under rule XXIII of this court it became the duty of the clerk to enter upon the record a judgment that appellant recover its costs of appeal, and to insert this direction in the remittitur. The clerk entered the judgment correctly, but omitted to insert the proper direction in the remittitur, and when the appellant filed its cost bill the superior court, on motion of respondents, struck it out. Subsequently, the clerk of this court, without any order so to do, sent down another remittitur containing a proper direction as to costs, but omitting a copy of the opinion, whereupon appellant filed a second cost bill, which also was stricken out by the superior court on motion of respondents. Thereupon this motion was made at the ensuing Los Angeles term.

Respondents oppose the motion upon various technical grounds. In the first place they say the notice of motion does not state the- grounds upon which it will be based. It is true that the notice does not expressly state that it will be made upon the ground that the remittitur does not conform to the judgment, but the terms of the notice clearly disclose that this is the ground of the motion, and, in the absence of a law or rule of court requiring an explicit statement of the grounds of a motion, we would not deny a proper measure of relief merely because of a failure to set out the grounds of the motion, un *115 less it appeared that such omission had prejudiced the opposite side—and no such prejudice was possible in this case. Bor was it laches to delay moving until the next Los Angeles term. The case belongs in that district, and the interest and eon-Arenience of the parties was promoted by a hearing at that city, while no possible injury to respondents could result from the delay. The showing in support of the motion was sufficient. There was a certified copy of the remittitur sent down, and, as Ave take notice of our oavu judgment in the case, the defect in the remittitur was made apparent. There was no want of jurisdiction to make our remittitur conform to our judgment. This case does not fall under the rule that a remittitur will ■only be recalled Avhen fraud or imposition has been practiced ■upon the court. That rule is applied where the .object of recalling the remittitur is to reinvest the court with jurisdiction of the cause, in order that it may revoke or revise its judgment ■or order. Here the whole purpose of the motion is to make the remittitur conform to the final judgment of the court, and it is based upon the proposition that by a clerical omission no proper remittitur has ever been issued. Finally, it is no objection to this motion that the appellant made two unsuccessful attempts to collect its costs under the two imperfect remittiturs heretofore issued.

It is ordered that the remittitur heretofore issued be recalled, and a correct remittitur issued in its place, containing the proper direction as to costs.
