[16] Harding _v._ Harding, 198 U.S. 317 (1905). The following cases
further illustrate the application of the clause when its protection is
sought by a defendant. Such claim must be specific, Wabash R. Co. _v._
Flannigan, 192 U.S. 29, 37 (1904). _See also_ American Exp. Co. _v._
Mullins, 212 U.S. 311 (1909). The burden is upon the party making it to
establish the failure of a court to give to decrees of a federal court
and the court of another State the due effect to which they are
entitled. Commercial Pub. Co. _v._ Beckwith, 188 U.S. 567, 573 (1903).
However, by defending on the merits, after pleading and relying upon a
foreign judgment, a party does not waive the benefits of an alleged
estoppel arising from the foreign judgment. Harding _v._ Harding, 198
U.S. 317, 330 (1905). Nor is a decree of dismissal, not on the merits, a
bar to suit in another jurisdiction. Swift _v._ McPherson, 232 U.S. 51
(1914). Nor is an entry of discontinuance. In allowing the plaintiff to
show that such entry of discontinuance was not intended by the parties
as a release and satisfaction of the cause of action, but was the result
of a promissory agreement by the defendant which was never complied
with, the Court in the forum State was not refusing full faith and
credit to the judgment. Such evidence was properly allowed, not to
contradict the legal import of said judgment, but to show the true
meaning of the parties to the suit in agreeing upon its discontinuance.
