¶1Opinion op the court by
¶2— Reversing.
¶3Blanton, the trustee of school district No. 42 in Edmonson county, and Pliggs sued appellee Vincent and the sheriff to restrain the execution of a writ of possession issued upon a judgment of the Edmonson Circuit Court in the suit of Wood Vincent’s Heirs v. Blanton et al. The appellant, J. L. Vincent, was a party to that suit. So were all the appellees here (the plaintiffs above named). The subject-matter of the former suit was the title and right of possession to a certain body of land in Edmonson county, described as containing about 35 acres. Blanton *591claimed that he owned the land, and had sold part of it to Higgs and a part of it to the school district. Issue upon the ownership was joined. This court decided that Vincent’s heirs owned the land. See Vincent v. Blanton, 85 S. W. 703, 27 Ky. Law Rep. 489. The writ of possession was issued in behalf of the Vincents upon the judgment directed to be entered by this court in that opinion.
¶4This suit proceeded upon the idea that the old suit did not present the question, nor was it decided, where the dividing line between the two tracts in controversy was located. It was necessary in the first suit to define the boundary of the land which the plaintiffs (the Vincents) were seeking to recover. That was done. If that boundary was not correctly represented, an issue should have been tendered by the other parties. The rule is, not only is all that was at issue in the previous suit' concluded by its judgment, but all that should have been at issue in that suit is likewise concluded, else we would have the trial of lawsuits by piecemeal. There would be no end to a litigation. The plea in bar in this case should have been sustained.
¶5Judgment reversed, and cause remanded with directions to dismiss the petition.
