Clinton, J.,
concurring.
I concur in the opinion of the court except that part contained in the last paragraph which discusses and determines that the previous judgment of the court rendered under sections 31-727 to 31-769, R. R. S. 1943, as amended, is res judicata and determinative of this case. That paragraph of the opinion raises an issue not raised by the parties nor discussed in the briefs, is totally unnecessary to the decisions in this case, and purports to decide an issue not even raised by the pleadings. Res judicata is a defensive matter which ought to be raised by pleadings as well as by proof.
