<p>It is no ground for setting aside a judgment by default, that the defendant was ignorant of the law requiring him to answer in ten days.</p> <p>To plead a former judgment in bar, it must appear not only that it was upon the same cause of action, but between the same parties.</p> <p>A judgment against an administrator, though in the form of a common money-judgment by default, is,valid, its only effect being to establish the validity of the claim.</p> <p>A judgment by default may as well be taken against an administrator as any other party.</p>
