Stanley v. McKenzie, 29 Ariz. 288, 240 P.2d 1033 (1925). Schneider v. Schneider, 155 Miss. 621, 125 So. 91 (1929); Montgomery v. Walker, 227 Miss. 552, 86 So.2d 502 (1956). Salomon v. Salomon, 101 App. Div. 580, 92 N.Y.S. 184 (1905); White v. White, 154 App. Div. 250, 138 N.Y.S. 1082 (1912).

Hence that decree, in the divorce proceedings, to which appellants were not parties, was not binding on them. See Neal v. Neal, 238 Miss. 572, 119 So.2d 273 (1960); Montgomery v. Walker, 227 Miss. 552, 86 So.2d 502 (1956); Steele v. Steele, 152 Miss. 365, 118 So. 721 (1928). For these reasons, the decree of the trial court will be reversed, and the cause remanded for a full hearing on the issues raised by the pleadings and the evidence, and for a decision consistent with the principles enunciated by this opinion.
