Cosgrave vs. Mitchell et al., executors.
    Where a laborer’s lien was foreclosed, the execution issued thereunder levied, and a counter-affidavit interposed and returned for trial, the process was mesne, and an adjudication and discharge in bankruptcy operated to discharge the debtor from the debt. Code, section 1991, sub-sec. 4; 65 fía., 444.
    Judgment affirmed.
    March 10, 1885.
   Jacksoh, Chief Justice.

[Cosgrave foreclosed a laborer’s lien against Roberts. The latter filed a counter-affidavit, denying the debt and lien, and pleaded a set-off. The papers were returned to the superior court for trial. Pending (he case, Roberts was adjudged a bankrupt, and was subsequently discharged, and pleaded it. These facts were admitted on the trial, and it was also admitted that the debt of Oosgrave was provable in bankruptcy.

. By agreement, the case was submitted to the court without a jury. He held that the process was mesne, and not final, and was discharged by the bankruptcy. Plaintiff excepted.]
