Judgment \u2014 how question of res adjudicate cannot he determined. On a motion to open a judgment by confession for rent, where plaintiff in a counter-affidavit claimed that the right to rent had been adjudicated in a previous judgment, the trial judge cannot properly determine the question of res adjudicate by consulting the files and record in the previous case.\n2. Landlord and tenant, \u00a7 310 \u2014 what is not defense in action for rent. The fact that a tenant, abandoning leased premises prior to the expiration of the lease, tendered a desirable tenant for a portion of the unexpired term is not a defense in an action to recover rent, on the theory that the tenant was deprived of an opportunity to minimize his loss.\nAppeal from the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Wells M. Cook, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1917.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed May 14, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nJudgment by confession for rent and attorney\u2019s fees was recovered by Kate M. West, plaintiff, against J. A. McNaughton, defendant. Upon denial of the latter\u2019s motion to vacate the judgment, he appeals.\nSee also West v. McNaughton, ante, p. 259, a related case.\nGregory, Burges & McNab, for appellant.\nT. F. Monahan, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
