Cleveland v. Spencer

Opinion of the Court

HUGHES, District Judge.

This court fully concurs in the decision of the circuit court in this, case, and agrees with the reasons assigned in the opinion of the court for its decision. The only question raised on appeal not embraced in the opinion of the circuit court is that of estoppel. But the parties in the suit which was before the circuit court, and which it decided, were not the same as those in the previous suit, and estoppel does not apply. Decree or order of the circuit court affirmed, with costs.
