Reade, J.

It is settled that a regular final judgment can mot be ‍​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‍set aside at a subsequent term on motion. , The judgment in this case was regular, and had the additional force of ‍​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‍being by consent of parties. The fact that the defendant’s counsel consented under the false representation of a third person that his ‍​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‍client was willing to pay it, makes no difference.

The effect of the appeal from the order vacating the judgment, was to leave ‍​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‍the judgment and execution in full force; and the money raised under the execution will be paid over to the plaintiff. There ‍​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‍was error. Judgment here for the plaintiff for costs.

Per Curiam. Judgment accordingly.
