It appears by the record of the city court, that Lane, the defendant in that ‍‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‍action, and plaintiff in this, appeared in the court to defend, and pleaded that he owed the plaintiff nothing by book, but that the plaintiff owed him. The necessary legal ‍‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‍inference, there, fore, is, that his book account was then submitted to the consideration and decision of that court. And the judgment states, that the court fully heard the parties ‍‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‍in the premises; found that the defendant did owe ; and thereupon did consider, &c.

This appearance and plea of Lane, and the judgment 0£ .the city court in that action, are ‍‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‍conclusive upon the parties thereto, as to all matters on book subsisting between them at the date of the writ, on which that judgment was rendered. The evidence offered by ‍‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‍the plaintiff, ‘before the superior court, was, therefore, properly rejected.

New trial not to be granted.
