A  judgment-roll  in  a  former  action  bj  a  grantee  of  plaintiff's
ancestor  against  defendant  to  recover  the  same  lands,  wherein  it
was  adjudged  the  grantee  was  entitled  to  possession,  is  conclusive
proof  of  the  right  of  possession  in' the  grantor,  and  the  statutory
right  of  redemption  did  not  vary  its  effect  as  between  parties  and
privies.  Cagger  v.  Lansing,  64  N.  Y.  417  ;  affirming  4  Hun,  812.
In  a  judgment  on  a  "  Manor  Lease,"  plaintiff  is  entitled  to  possession
of  the  premises.  Yan  Rensselaer  v.  Whiibeck,  2  Lans.  498.  By
virtue  of  a  judgment  in  ejectment,  and  without  a  writ  of  possession,
plaintiff  may  take  possession  of  the  premises  if  he  can  do  so  peace-
fully. People,  ex  rel.,  v.  Cooper,  20  Hun,  486.  A  judgment  in
ejectment  is  only  conclusive,  under  the  statute,  as  to  the  title  actually
litigated  and  established  in  the  action  ;  it  is  not  the  recovery  which
constitutes  an  estoppel  in  a  subsequent  action,  but  the  decision  of
the  question  which  was  contested  between  the  parties.  In  case  of
plea  of  former  suit  in  bar,  the  point  is  whether  the  same  title  is
sought  to  be  litigated  in  both  actions,  if  not,  the  former  action  is  not
a  bar.  Dawley  v.  Brown,  79  N.  T.  390 ;  reverting  9  Hnn,  461.
A  judgment  in  ejectment  is  not  conclusive,  nor  is  it  evidence  against
a  third  person  who  enters  into  possession  under  a  tax  lease,  though
he  subsequentlj'  acquires  title  through  the  defendant  in  ejectment.
Sheridan  v.  Andrews,  49  N".  Y.  478 ;  affirming  3  Lans.  179.
