JUDGMENTS, § 150 — propriety of denying motion to vacate ex parte judgment. Evidence that defendants' former attorney left defendants' employment without notifying defendant of his abandonment of their defense to plaintiff's action and that defendants "thought plaintiff had dropped the suit" warranted denial of defendants' motion to vacate ex parte judgment after 30 days on grounds that defendants were "negligent" in not obtaining another attorney after former one left their employ and were imprudent in assuming that plaintiff had dropped action (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1947, ch. 110, par. 196; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 104.072).
See Callaghan's Illinois Digest, same topic and section number.
