Syllabus

Whatever may be the nature of a question presented for judicial determination -- whether depending on federal, general or local law -- if it be embraced by the issues made, its determination by a court having jurisdiction of the parties and of the subject matter, binds the parties and their privies, so long as the judgment remains unmodified or unreversed.
