        "text": "Gary, J.\nAlthough many questions are raised upon this record, it is necessary to touch but one; our negative answer to that, ends the ease so far as this court can end it.\nEvelyn Hutton, wife of the appellee named in the title above, and herself one of the appellees, in February, 1875, was, and for about eighteen months had been the guardian of the appellant named in the title above, he then being a minor.\nHeman G. Powers succeeded her, and John V. Le Moyne succeeded him as such guardian.\nOn the 30th day of November, 1877, the County Court of Cook County, upon an account taken of her guardianship, found that there was then \u201c due from \u201d her to the \u201c estate \u201d of her ward, the sum of $40,605.48, and ordered that she \u201c pay over said amount forthwith to the\u201d then \u201c guardian of said estate,\u201d who was Le Moyne. Hpon that order an execution in favor of Le Moyne has been issued and levied upon lands conveyed by her to her husband, before the execution issued) but after the order was entered, in consideration of their then marriage.\nThe husband filed this hill to enjoin proceedings upon that execution, or any other issued upon that order; the Circuit Court made a decree granting the relief prayed, from which Kingsbury, who has attained his majority, and. in whose interest the execution issued, has, with his co-defendants, appealed.\nThe question for decision is, was that order a judgment creating a lien upon lands and enforceable by execution? This question was involved in the case of Gilbert v. Guptill, 34 Ill. 112; though not in a manner indicating that it was regarded as important; and was, in terms, considered and answered by the court.\nGilbert was the guardian of Pinneo, called to account as such before the County Court of Kane County, by Guptill, administrator of Pinneo. By appeal and change of venue the case reached the Court of Common Pleas of the City of Elgin, and from the order of that court Gilbert appealed to the Supreme Court.\nOne error he assigned, as the opinion of Breese, J., states, was: \u201cIf the statute was no bar to the proceedings, yet all the court could have done was to state an account, having no power to render a judgment or enforce the payment of the same.\u201d To sustain this point the counsel of Gilbert quoted at length from 6 Clarke, 123 (Foteaux v. Lepage, 6 Iowa, 123).\nThe Supreme Court does not refer to the Iowa case in terms, but disposes of the point by saying : \u201cUpon the next point we have to remark that it does not appear the court below entered up any judgment against the appellant, but found a certain sum due, and directed him to pay it over to the administrator. This finding fixed the amount of the recovery under the bond; it is res judicata as to the amount.\u201d\nThis language describes accurately the order of the County Court here in question, and fixes its legal character. It has been several times since approved and the principle applied. Harvey v. Harvey, 87 Ill. 54, and cases there cited. The order is not a judgment to be executed by final process.\nThis view disposes of the whole case of the appellants and the decree is therefore affirmed.\nDecree affirmed.",
