    Friel v. Beadle, Appellant.
    Argued December 2, 1935.
    Before Frazer, C. J., Schaffer, Maxey, Drew, Linn and Barnes,. JJ.
    
      Robert P. Shick, for appellant.
    
      William T. Connor, with him John R. K. Scott, for appellee.
    
      January 6, 1936:
   Per Curiam,

This appeal is from the refusal to open judgment entered for want of a sufficient affidavit of defense in an action of assumpsit. An appeal from the judgment was quashed by this court on the ground that it was taken after the time allowed by the statute. Five months after the record was returned to the court below, the defendant filed a petition to open, alleging that, notwithstanding the judgment, his affidavit of defense was sufficient and had been misconstrued by the learned court below. No facts to support a holding that the judgment was void appeared. The only purpose of the motion to open was to obtain reconsideration of what the court had already decided at a prior term, and which this court was unable to consider for the reason stated. When his application to open was refused, he took this appeal to obtain a review of the decision which we were unable to review before. To support his right to this appeal, he relies on the Act of May 20,1891, P. L. 101,12 P. S., section 1100. It is settled that the act does not and was not intended “to give a party aggrieved by a judgment obtained in an adverse proceeding, which at the worst is only erroneous and not void, two opportunities to obtain a reversal”: Mayer v. Brimmer, 15 Pa. Superior Ct. 451, 454; American Soda Water Co. v. Taggart, 46 Pa. Superior Ct. 123; In re Inter-County Bridge, 82 Pa. Superior Ct. 59.

The appeal is quashed.
