92 Mich. 298 | Mich. | 1892
The original decree in this case was entered October 30, 1891, and was $1,378.21 too large. November 28, 1891, defendant Stone filed a petition to vacate the decree and orders pro confesso and of reference, and to set aside the commissioner’s report of amount due, and for leave to file a sworn answer and make defense.

The other objections go to the merits of the order, which we cannot consider on this motion.
The motion will be denied, with costs.
