    It is contended by plaintiff that by filing the answer after the judgment had been entered, defendant had thereby entered a general appearance for all purposes which related back to the rendition of the judgment and thereby validated same. In Oklahoma City v. McWilliams, 108 Okla. 268, 236 P. 417, it was held: "A judgment against a municipal corporation rendered without service being had upon said municipal corporation as provided by section 243, Comp.

    In Oklahoma Ry. Co. v. Boyd, 1929 OK 82, 282 P. 157, 162, 140 Okla. 45, it is said, "Where one owes a nondelegable duty to third persons, he cannot escape the obligation of performing such duty by engaging for its performance through or by a contractor, and in such cases the rule that an employer is not liable for the negligence of an independent contractor has no application."

In the McWilliams Case a number of suits were brought against Oklahoma City by certain police officers for salaries alleged to be due them in a justice of the peace court.
