Elias Markens, Defendant in Error, v. The Baldwin Company, Plaintiff in Error.
    Gen. No. 22,182.
    (Not to be reported in full.)
    Abstract of the Decision.
    Judgment, § 515
      
       — when in action by seller of chattel is conclusive on rights of parties. Where it appears that in an action by the vendor of a chattel which the vendee had refused to retain after its delivery, to recover the balance due on the purchase price thereof, the judgment rendered was for less than the balance due under the contract of sale, the vendee is not entitled, after paying the judgment, to recover from the vendor the contract price of the chattel upon the latter’s refusal to redeliver it.
