““The court permitted the plaintiffs, against the objection of the defendants, to read to -it from the opinion of this court, referred to in the finding ‘as bear ing upon tlie issues in the case.’ One of the issues was whether the judgment in that case was a bar to this suit, and that depended on the further fact whether the judgment in question had settled the matters In litigation in the present suit; and, to ascertain this, the court below clearly might have read the opinion for itself, and it was no error to permit the plaintiffs to read it in the manner and for the purpose stated.’!”
