Guaranty Trust Co. of New York v. International Steam Pump Co.
Opinion of the Court
(after stating the facts as above). We do-not find it necessary, nor even possible, now to consider the alleged
Under such circumstances we hold it plain, upon mere statement, that the act of the lower court now alleged as error had been committed and was expressed in a formal decree from which an appeal was taken and lost, by the present appellant, more than a year ago. It was pas-sible for and incumbent upon the intervener to urge his objections, if any, on the previous appeal; for every question which might have been then raised in opposition to the decision then appealed from must now be held res adjudicata between the parties. Burns v. Cooper, 153 Fed. at 151, 82 C. C. A. 300, per Van Devanter, J. The principle of the rule as to conclusiveness of appellate decisions upon all matters which might have been litigated upon a given appeal is the same as that often announced in this court as to the conclusiveness of judgments of other competent tribunals. Landon v. Bulkley, 95 Fed. 344, 37 C. C. A. 96: Straus v. American, etc., Ass’n, 201 Fed. 306, 119 C. C. A. 544; Old Dominion, etc., Co. v. Lewisohn, 202 Fed. 178, 120 C. C. A. 392.
The question here sought to be raised having (as between these parties) passed in rem judicatam, the appeal is dismissed, with costs.
