24 Mo. App. 258 | Mo. Ct. App. | 1887
The defendants pleaded the judgment of .the Supreme Court, in the case of Fretwell v. Laffoon, in their answers as res adjudícala. Such judgment is res adjudicaba as to all matters therein decided and as to dll other questions which could have been raised by the motion for new trial in said case. Pomeroy v. Benton, 77 Mo. 79; Chouteau v. Gibson, 76 Mo. 38. Thq grounds set forth in the motion for a new trial in that case are also alleged in the petition in this case. It is true, however, that in the petition in this case it is averred that the original answer of Laffoon, as garnishee, was .prepared for him by one of Fretwell’s attorneys, whereas, in the motion for a new trial in that case there was no such averment. But such fact could have been alleged in said motion as a reason in support thereof,
Judgment is affirmed.
