Syllabus

<p>Judgment — Res Judicata — Matters Concluded. A judgment declaring the priority of plaintiff’s attachment liens over defendant’s chattel mortgage upon a crop of wheat, unappealed from or attacked in any manner, is res judicata, and precludes the defendant from asserting that the attachment liens were rendered null and void by the debtor’s subsequent discharge in bankruptcy, where such discharge took place prior to the entry of the judgment, and might have been urged as a defense to the action, or, if not then proven, as newly discovered evidence and ground for a new trial.</p> <p>Appeal — Review — Harmless Error — Error Not Affecting Rights of Appellant. The holder of a second lien upon a crop of wheat is not prejudiced by the fact of a private sale, where it is admitted that it was sold for all it was worth, and did not bring enough to satisfy a prior lien.</p>
