delivered the opinion of the court.
This was a petition for a new trial, and the vacation of a judgment for errors apparent upon the record, brought after the expiration of the term at which the judgment was rendered
The case was heard upon the pleadings, and the relief prayed for granted, and from that judgment the defendant has appealed.
The sole question raised is, whether the circuit court, after the expiration of the term at which the original judgment was rendered, had the power to vacate and set it aside upon the grounds presented by the petition.
This can only be decided by reference to the provisions of the Civil Code on that subject, for although prior to its adoption, any substantial error prejudicial to the party complaining, and apparent upon the record, was deemed sufficient for a bill of review, it has prescribed what description of errors may be revised by the circuit court, and thus restricted its revisory jurisdiction to such cases; and, unless the errors complained of in the petition come within the class subject to the revision of the circuit court, the judgment cannot be upheld.
The time, manner, and grounds, upon which judgments and final orders are to be reversed, vacated, or modified, are prescribed in title 12, and in sections from 574 to 585 inclusive.
Section 574 provides, that “a judgment rendered or ‘ final order made in the circuit court may be revers- ‘ ed, vacated, or modified either by the court of ap- * peals, or by the court in which the judgment was ‘rendered or order made.”
Section 575, that “a judgment or final order may be ‘ reversed or modified by the court of appeals for er- ‘ rors appearing in the record-.”
2. That there was.no allegation in the petition, proof, or . exhibits, to sustain the judgment, is not one Of the grounds enumerated in the Code of Practice authorizing the circuit court to reverse' Sts own judgment.Section 579, that “the court in which a judgment or ‘ final order has been rendered or made, shall have ‘ power, after the expiration.of the term, to vacate or ‘ modify such judgment or order—1. By granting a ‘ new trial for the cause and in the manner prescribed ‘ in section-3.73. 2. By a new trial granted in proceed- ‘ ings against defendants constructively summoned, ‘•as prescribed in chapter 1, title 10. 3. For mispris- ‘ ions of the clerk. 4. For fraud practised by the suc- ‘ cessful party in the obtaining of the judgment or ‘ order. 5. For erroneous proceedings against an in- ‘ fant, married woman, or person of unsound mind, * where the condition of such defendant does not ap- ‘ pear in the record, nor the error in the proceedings. ‘ 6. For the death of one of the parties before the 1 judgment in the action. 7. For unavoidable casu- ‘ ality or misfortune preventing the party from ap- ‘ pearing or defending. 8. For errors in a judgment ‘ shown by an infant in twelve months after arriv- ‘ ing at full age, as prescribed in section 421.”
The grounds relied on in the petition are, substantially, that there was no allegation in the petition, or exhibit or proof in the cause, to uphold the judgment vacated; that it was irregular and unauthorized by law, and, having been rendered without allegation or proof to support it, was erroneous if not void. There was no effort to bring the case within any of the provisions enumerated in the section recited; and the parties seem to rely mainly, if not altogether, upon the general revisory power of the circuit court in such cases, as recognized prior to the adoption of the 'Code. This, as has been stated, is restricted by the provisions of the Code, supra, and the circuit court, cannot, after the expiration of the term at which a final order or judgment is entered, vacate, modifiy, ■or reverse such judgment or order, except upon the grounds enumerated in section 579.
The remedy is by appeal to this court where, as in this case, the grounds relied on are errors apparent ¡in the record, but not of that character to be cor*99rected by the circuit court after the expiration of the term when the judgment is entered.
The judgment appealed from is not interlocutory as has been suggested. It not only affords the relief sought by the petition but perpetuates the injunction against the previous judgment, and so far is final.
The judgment is reversed and cause remanded with directions to dismiss the petition and dissolve the injunction with damages.
