Upon cross-examination the defendant admitted that this particular claim was not mentioned in such settlement. Such settlement was intended to be of all matters and was supposed by both parties to be full and complete.\nTwo juries have found in favor of appellee. The last jury was fairly instructed, and it is likely that a third trial would result as have the two already had.\nThe judgment of the Superior Court is therefore affirmed.",
