Marshall, Ch. J.

Stated that the opinion of the Court to be, that the verdict and judgment in the case of Susan Davis against Swann, were not conclusive evidence in the present case. There was no privity between Swann and Wood; they were to be considered as perfectly distinct persons.. Wood had a right tp defend his own title, which lie did not derive from Swann.
