Opinion

Adams, Ch. J.

x. practice : ease remandedforjudgment: motion for. I. It was held in Adams Co. v. B. & M. R. R. Co., 44 Iowa, 335, that the party that is successful in the appellate court, in an equitable action, is not necessarily entitled where the case is remanded to a judgment m the court below. The unsuccessful party may have a new trial upon a showing of newly discovered evidence, and possibly iqxon some other grounds. But where a case is tried de novo in this court and remanded for judgment without any other directions, judgment must be rendered as a matter of course, and upon motion, unless the unsuccessful party shall bring himself within some recognized rule which would entitle him to a new trial. Parties cannot be allowed to try their cases by piece meal, nor to experiment with the court. Whether if in this case the defendants had made an additional tender and asked leave to amend, setting up such fact, they could hav e been allowed to amend upon any showing of excuse for not having made sufficient tender in the outset, we do not determine. No such question is before us. The defendants in resistance to the plaintiff’s motion for judgment filed written objections, and in them they state that they have tendered the amount due into court. If we were to conclude that the court should have taken notice.of this statement we should be obliged to presume that the court found it untrue. We discover no error and the judgment must be

Affirmed.
