— This case was here before, (54 Mo. 258" court="Mo." date_filed="1873-10-15" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/magrew-v-foster-8004252?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="8004252">54 Mo. 258.) It came up then, because of the refusal of the court rendering judgment, to quash two executions, issued to different counties. That judgment was affirmed.
It has hitherto been the currently received opinion, that when affirmance occurs, that is an end of the case. The fact that defendant “ kept his motion on the docket regularly,” after the cause came up here, could by no means alter or diminish the results incident to such affirmance. This being the case, what is termed an “ amended motion” to set aside the judgment, etc., cannot be considered, as more than three years had elapsed between the
But it seems to be thought that defendant is entitled to have that motion treated as a petition for review. Should we he disposed to regard it in this light, however, we are met by the fact that even the original motion was not filed within two years after rendition of the judgment complained of. And in attachment cases such petition must be filed within this period, or else the statutory method of redress will be denied. (1 Wag. Stat., p. 193, §§ 60 & 61.) The general statutory provisions relating to petitions of this sort, (2 Wag. Stat. 1054, §§ 13 & 15) have no application to suits instituted by attachment; so that, should we entirely disregard the effects and consequences of the judgment of affirmance, treat the original motion to set aside the judgment for irregularity, and to quash the execution for like cause, as an incipient petition for review, and the amended motion as a continuance thereof, still we are confronted by the bar the statute interposes; for the judgment was rendered in May, 1868, and the first motion not filed until March, 1871, or more than two years after judgment rendered.
But an obstacle equally insurmountable to a reversal herein is met in this, that there is no record entry, which authenticates the bill of exceptions and s]10ws ft to have been filed. Fulkerson v.

We, therefore, affirm the judgment.
Affirmed.
