Appeal limited to case already judged when only that ground is invoked for admission.

The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, restricting its review to the specific issue of a previously decided case. The appellant argued that the lower court's decision violated the principle of res judicata, while the opposing party contended the matter was already settled. The court ruled that since the appeal was admitted solely on this ground, the higher tribunal must confine its cognizance strictly to that single legal point.
