“The appellees' contention is that the circuit court, upon remandment, decreed that Frank M. Witbeck had only a life estate and not a determinable fee, and that this decree, however erroneous, is binding on the complainant since no attempt was ever made to correct it. . . . 27 "It must be presumed, however, that it was the intention of the circuit court, as it was its duty, to observe the mandate of this court and enter a decree in accordance with it and not a different decree. . . . 28 "These provisions of the decree do not purport to define the character of the estate. . . . The directions to the trustees were in conformity with the opinion on the appeal without reference to the character of the estate, and the general statement that the estate is held upon the same trusts and with the same powers and duties as the original shares is qualified and limited by the specification of the particular powers and duties, which are in conformity with the opinion upon the appeal and the mandate.”
