SYLLABUS In an action for an accounting tried in May, 1911, the court, according to the clerk’s minutes, found that there was a balance due the plaintiff and ordered a judgment in his favor, di- recting the plaintiff's counsel to pre- pare findings in harmony with the statement of the account as present- ed to him by the court. Except as the minutes of the ‘court’s decision appears, entered by the clerk in his minutes, there was no written de- cision and no findings of fact, conclu- sions of law and order for judgment In July, 1921, after an ex «parte hearing, the sus: cessor of the judge who tried the case directed the entry of a judg- ment nunc pro tunc as of October, 1911. Thereafter defendants moved to vacate the judgment and asked leave to file an amended answer set- ting up, among other defenses, thé statute of limitations, a discharge in bankruptcy and laches. .

(2) The motion fo vacate the judg- ment in the instant case invokes the exercise of discretion by the trial court, and, inasmuch as the proposed answer excuses defendants’ neglect and sets forth defenses which are prima facie good, it is held that the discretion was not properly exercis- ed. (3) Where a motion to vacate a judgment is made upon grounds which appeal to the discretion of thé court, raising questions not predi- cated sulely upon errors of law oc- curring anterior to the judgment, an‘ order denying the motion to vacate is appealable to this court under Subdivision 2 of Section 7481, C. L. 1913. ‘Appeal from the District Court of Cass County, Hon A. T. Cole, 3, Motion to dismiss denicd and order reversed. Opinion of the Court by Birdzell, Ch, J. Bronson, J., concurs in result.
