1Opinion of the CourtHarrison, J.

Appeal from an order vacating an order and judgment dismissing the action for want of prosecution.

The superior court made an order in this action October 23, 1899, upon the motion of the defendant, dismissing the action for want of prosecution, and judgment thereon was thereupon entered. Subsequently the plaintiff moved the court to vacate and set aside the said order upon the ground, among others, that the same was made through her inadvertence and excusable neglect. Upon the hearing this motion was granted and the judgment was set aside. From this order the defendants have appealed.
