Bates, Judge,

¶1delivered the opinion of the court.

¶2This is a suit to enforce a mechanic’s lien. The plaintiff got judgment for thirty dollars. The only exception in the case is to the refusal of the defendant’s motion to arrest the judgment. We find no error in that refusal. The petition, though inartificially drawn, contains a sufficient statement of the plaintiffs’ cause of action.

¶3Judgment affirmed.

Judges Bay and Dryden concur.
