1938Vanlandingham v. Ryan, 17 Ill. 25 ; Marie Church v. Trinity Church, 253 id. 21. ’ ” Our conclusion is that the whole matter was adjudicated in the former decree, that the decree was final, that no appeal was taken from that decree, and that, therefore, there is no merit in petitioner’s claim here.

1927A judgment upon a demurrer for defect in the pleadings will not bar another action for the same cause, but a decision upon the merits of a cause of action or defense upon demurrer will be a bar in a subsequent proceeding upon the same facts. — Vanlandingham v. Ryan , 17 Ill. 25 ; Marie Church v. Trinity Church , 253 id. 21." So if it were conceded upon examination of the bill in the former case that the court erroneously decided that the bill then under consideration upon general demurrer did not state a cause of action, appellants are in no better position here.
