Opinion of the Court

By the Court :

The judgment in this case is reversed on the ground that the court erred in holding that the respondent could come into the district court after the expiration of one year, and have the judgment set aside and be permitted to defend — no such right existing at common law, and the right given by statute being limited to one year.

The cause is remanded with instructions to reinstate the former judgment entered herein.

All of the justices concur.
