Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Foreign Judgment — Entitled, to Full Faith and Credit — Cannot Be Attacked Collaterally. A judgment of a sister state not challenged upon jurisdictional grounds cannot be impeached upon the ground that the successful party obtained the judgment by giving perjured testimony.</p> <p>2. Same. The truth or falsity of the testimony produced was a matter for the determination of the court rendering the judgment and that matter, not being extrinsic or collateral to the issue involved, must be regarded as adjudicated and not open to inquiry in another action.</p> <p>3. Same — Demurrer to Defendant’s Pleading Rightly Sustained. The demurrer to the defendant’s pleadings setting up that the judgment was fraudulently obtained by perjured testimony was rightly sustained.</p>
