Action by Walter Buchholz against Thomas Manzella, doing business as American Cab Company, for damages to an automobile resulting from a collision. On defendant's appeal from justice court, judgment was rendered for the plaintiff, and thereafter court ordered execution quashed and judgment to be set aside, and plaintiff appeals.

Thos. J. Brown, Kenneth W. Tapp, Omar E. Robinson, and Brown & Edwards, all of Kansas City, for appellant.

BOYER, Commissioner.
This appeal questions the right of the trial court to set aside a final judgment on motion for that purpose filed at a term of court subsequent to the judgment term. The abstract of the record presented here shows that on October 2, 1940, and during the September, 1940, term of the Circuit Court of Jackson County and in Division No. 2 thereof, there was entered the following:
Nothing further was done during the September term, but thereafter on December 2, 1940, and during the November, 1940 term, defendant filed in said court and in said cause the following:
Thereafter, and on December 9, 1940, at the November term of said court, both parties being represented by counsel, the court heard evidence on said motion and entered the following:
Plaintiff duly appealed and assigns error in that none of the grounds set out in the motion is sufficient in law to authorize such action after the expiration of the term at which said judgment became final; and (2) that the court erred in attempting to assume jurisdiction over its judgment rendered at a prior term because under the grounds set forth in the motion the court was without power or authority in law to enter any order affecting its validity. Numerous cases are cited in support of the points and brief of appellant. There was no brief presented in behalf of respondent.
The sole question here is whether or not the court had the power and the right under the motion to set the judgment aside after the lapse of the term at which it was rendered. The light in which a motion of the character here presented might be considered is fully discussed and determined in the case of Jeude v. Sims, 258 Mo. 26, 166 S.W. 1048. From the exposition of the law as there declared, as well as in many subsequent cases, it appears...
