Scire facias sur mechanics’ lien, by Daniel E. Q-ohn against Christian Hersliey, owner, and William H. Iiogendobler, contractor. The plaintiff filed a lien, April 7th, 1877, amounting in the aggregate to $1803.77|, against five houses and lots in Columbia, and apportioned to house and lot No. 1 the sum of $529.90. The lien was for bricks furnished between June 9th, 1876, and November 1st, 1876.
Decided 1881-05-04
¶1The Court would have committed manifest error if they had affirmed the defendant’s first point. It mattered not what the bricks were furnished for, if they were furnished on the credit of the building before it was finished. The contract between the owner and contractor was clearly admissible, nor was the question of apportionment material to defendants. It is only as to subsequent liens that it becomes important.
¶2Judgment affirmed.
