No. 1366.
George Ball v. Lenora Schaffer.
Opinion filed Dec. 4, 1885.
This case was before the court at the December term, 1883, and substantially all the questions now raised by the assignments of error were then involved in the cause and decided. Ball v. ■Schaffer, 14 Brad well, 302. The decree of the circuit court was then affirmed, as to all matters in controversy between the parties, except as to the damages awarded for the detention of dower, and on that particular point the decree was reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings in conformity with the opinion of the court. It is. admitted by appellant that the action of the court below, upon the remanding, is in substantial compliance with the expressed views of this court. The cause must be considered by the former adjudication, at least so far as this court is concerned. That adjudication covered the merits of the controversy in all its bearings, and the only matters we "could now properly review would be the proceedings subsequent to the remanding of the cause ; it is not contended such proceedings were not in conformity with the mandate of the court. Hollowbush v. McConnel, 12 Ill. 203; Cook v. Norton, 61 Id. 285 ; Newberry v. Blatchford, 106 Id. 584. The decree is affirmed.
Attorneys for appellant, Messrs. Barns & Barns ;
for appellee, Mr. F. S. Potter.
