Rem, Judgment in
Rem, Judgment in, is an adjudication pronounced upon the status of some particular subject-matter by a tribunal having competent jurisdiction and concluding all persons (not merely the parties to the proceedings) from saying that the status of the thing adjudicated upon was not such as declared by the adjudication, Rex. v. Hartington, 4 E&B 780; and see Castrique v. Imrie, 8 CBNS (1) 405 and LR 4 HL 414.
