Opinion:
Fead, C. J.
The defendant First State Bank foreclosed its mortgage in chancery, making the original trustees, their successors and plaintiff parties to the suit, originally or upon petition and order adding them as parties, and had decree of foreclosure. In my opinion, this decree is res judicata of the present suit and the decree dismissing the bill is affirmed, with costs.
