Opinion

Opinion on Rehearing

In denying the application for a hearing in this court after decision by the district court of appeal for the first district, it is proper to .say that the following paragraph in the opinion, namely: “In this state a void judgment is not governed by section 473, Code of Civil Procedure—our corresponding section to the North Dakota section above cited (George Frank Co. v. Leopold & Ferron Co., 13 Cal. App. 59 , [ 108 Pac. 878 ])” is not necessary to the decision. In so far as this may be construed as applying to any judgment not void on its face—viz., on an inspection of the judgment-roll—we doubt its correctness, and withhold our approval therefrom.

The application for a hearing in this court is denied.

Upon the entry of the decree George Stierlen left the state of North Dakota and returned to California, as above mentioned, where on the twenty-seventh day of November, a few…
