1ConcurrenceJustice Woods
The question of res judicata is close and difficult, but I think the conclusions reached by Mij. Justice Gary is right on principle and authority.
The Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co., defendant in this action, sued the plaintiff, Kirven, in the Federal Court on notes aggregating $2,228, given for the purchase money of fertilizers.
