<p>1. Res Judicata—■Dismissed Agreed.—The judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, dismissing a suit agreed, on the ground that it has been agreed by the parties, is a final determination of the matters which were actually, or might have been, litigated in that suit as against said parties and all claiming under them. Hoover v. Mitchell, 25 Gratt. 387; Wilcher v. Robertson, 78 Va. 602.</p> <p>2. Idem—Idem—Administrator.—-Where a party dies pendente lite, the suit may be compromised by his administrator, anda judgment entered dismissing the suit agreed, without there having been any revival thereof, is, unless reversed on appeal, final and a bar to further prosecution of that or any other suit for the same purpose.</p>
