ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR. 333
so, unless the defendant shall have filed a motion in writing,
before the entry of such default, for a jury trial; and shall
have stated in such motion how much of the plaintiff's demand
is disputed, and how much thereof, if any, is admitted by said
defendant to be due; and in such case the plaintiff may forth-
with have judgment entered up for the amount so admitted, as
provided in the preceding section.
SEC. 1591: Any action taken or order passed by said court
in relation to any judgment rendered by it, if taken or passed
within thirty days after the entry of such judgment, or upon a
motion or application made to it within said thirty days,
shall have the same effect and force as it would have had under
the practice heretofore existing in said court, if taken or
passed during the term, or upon a motion or application made
during the term at which said judgment was entered, and no
more; but any such action taken or order passed after the ex-
piration of thirty days from the entry of any judgment, (unless
upon a motion or application made within that time) shall have
the same effect and force as it would have had under such
previous practice, if taken or passed after the expiration of
said term, and no more; and the said court shall have, for a
period of thirty days after the doing of any act or thing in
any cause before it, the same revisory power and control over
such act or thing which, under the practice heretofore existing
they would have had over the same during the term at which
it was done, and no more; and, after thirty days from the doing
of any such act or thing, the said court shall have the same
revisory power and control thereover, which, under such pre-
vious practice, they would have had after the expiration of the
term at which said Act or thing was done, and no more.
SEC. 159m: In all cases where the pre-existing laws direct
or require that any act or thing shall be done in or by said
court during the same term at which some other act or thing
may be done or happen, such first mentioned act or thing
shall hereafter be done within thirty days after the doing or
happening of said last mentioned act or thing.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take
effect from June 1st. 1922.
Approved April 13th, 1922.
