Nor will the prosecution of such second suit to a judgment in favor of the plaintiff estop him from proceeding with the first, where the judgment remains unsatisfied (Civil Code of 1910, § 5522; Booth v. Huff, 116 Ga. 8 (2), 42 S. E. 381, 94 Am. St. R. 98; Garrick v. Tidwell, 151 Ga. 294 (2), 106 S. E. 551; McLendon v. Finch, 2 Ga. App. 421 (3), 58 S. E. 690; Hulsey v. Forrester, 36 Ga. App. 729, 137 S. E. 904) , although there can be but one satisfaction of the same damage or injury, and when this has been received the cause of action becomes extinguished. Griffin Hosiery Mills v. United Hosiery Mills, 31 Ga. App. 450 (120 S. E. 789).
