CIRCUIT COURT OF BALTIMORE CITY
    Filed June 10, 1892.
    CARROLL BRICK CO. VS. JAMES H. GABLE ET AL.
    
      E. J. Earlier and ~Wm. A. Hammond for plaintiff.
    
      J. H. G-alile, E. N. Rich, Harry M. Benzinger, Moses Sormehill, TV. B. Trundle, E. O. SMngluff and G. S. Sauerland for defendants.
   DENNIS, J.

In this case, I am of the opinion:

1st. That the plaintiffs are estopped from claiming a lien upon the reversion.

2d. That they are entitled to claim a lien upon the leasehold, because Stirling must be considered as agent of Gable, and they are not bound by the unrecorded declaration of trust in favor of Mrs. Gable.

I will sign a decree therefore for the sale of the leasehold interest, unless the amount of the lien claim is paid into Court by a day to be fixed by the decree.
