Opinion of the Court
By the Court.
The complaint in this action is not very accurately drawn, but upon a motion after judgment, at least, is sufficient. The judgment by default was regularly entered against defendant ; if set aside or opened it must be for cause shown by defendant.

A recital of the facts stated therein is unnecessary here.
