A decree for recovery of possession passed without such jurisdiction was treated as a nullity, capable of being resisted even at the execution stage, and constructive res judicata did not bar that challenge. The executing court could also refuse to execute the decree because the decree holder no longer retained the proprietary foundation for possession once vesting occurred.
