Text: The last assignment of error rests on the complaint of West A Liquor that the license was issued unlawfully, in that it was issued before entry of the commission's written order of December 7,1993. The record does not contain the license, nor for that matter is there any evidence of when or if a license was issued to J Mart. It is true that the amended petition on appeal to the district court alleges that a license was issued to J Mart on November 18, 1993, and the commission's answer admits that allegation. But the record contains neither an admission nor a denial of this allegation by J Mart. J Mart cannot be held to the admission of the commission, for matters contained in pleadings are judicial admissions only insofar as the adversary is concerned. See, Cook v. Beermann, 202 Neb. 447, 276 N.W.2d 84 (1979); Deck v. Sherlock, 162 Neb. 86, 75 N.W.2d 99 (1956) (where evidence is admitted as admission against interest against one defendant, that evidence is not ordinarily admissible against codefendant). See, also, ITT Continental Baking Co. v. Ellison, 370 A.2d 1353 (D.C.App.1977); Kluger v. Gallett, 288 Minn. 11, 178 N.W.2d 900 (1970); Feldmiller v. Olson, 75 Wash.2d 322, 450 P.2d 816 (1969); Morrissey v. City of New York, ___ A.D.2d ___, 634 N.Y.S.2d 185 (1995); McAtee v. Guthrie, 182 Mich. App. 215, 451 N.W.2d 551 (1989); Bell v. United Parcel Services, 724 S.W.2d 682 (Mo. App.1987); Barclays American v. Haywood, 65 N.CApp. 387, 308 S.E.2d 921 (1983); Indiana State Highway Com'n v. Vanderbur, 432 N.E.2d 418 (Ind.App.1982); Freestone County Title & Abstract v. Johnson, 594 S.W.2d 817 (Tex.Civ.App.1980); National American Bank of New Orleans v. Davis, 239 So.2d 493 (La.App.1970). In short, the record fails to sustain this assignment of error.
