Lead Opinion

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Lewis, C. J.

The decision of the District Court on an application to open a judgment by confession, is not the subject of revision here.

the decision of questions which the law places under the discretion of the courts of original jurisdiction.

Judgment affirmed.
