MIA the following order was made:
George W. Green
vs.
The Jackson Water Com
pany and j. B. Bayerque,
Interyenor.
rENHIS cause having been submitted TO a jury and
the Jury having been discharged before verdict
by order of the Court with the consent of parties,
and the issues having been submitted to the Court,
the Court finds the following facts:
lst The plaintiff, George W. Green commenced
work for and in the construction Of the canal and
fumes described in the complaint, on the llth or
18th day of July, A. ID. 1853, and continued to
work until the 10th day of March, A. ID. 1856; he
fled notice of laborcr's lien on the works on the
9th day of May, A. d. 1856, and brought suit to
enforce his lien on the 30th day Of October, A. ID.
1856 and the correctness of his account and claim
was established by the judgment Of this Court on
the 10th day Of February. A. d. 1851.
Cd The Intervenor loaned money TO the Jack
son Water Company and took mortgage on the
works described on the 18th day Of October, \. ID.
1855. which mortgage was toreelosed in the Circuit
Court of the United States on the 10th day OF
March. A. d. 1856, and that the mortgeged proper
ty was sold to satisfy the mortgage, aud tue Inter
vanor was the purchaser and went into possession
under the Sheriff rs deed.
Upon these facts my conclusions OF law are that
plaintiff having commenced work on the canal and
hume before the execution of the mortgage, and
having hedLhis lien and notice in the time ana III
the manner prescribed by law, aud having brought
his suit in due time, that plaintiff lien has prlorl-
ty over the Intervenors mortgage aud sale; there
fore. the Clerk will enter judgment for pantii and
let notice of the enforcement of this lien be pub
Ished in The "Weekly Ledger newspaper pub
lshed in the town of Jackson, for ten days, to all
persons holding liens against the works described
In the complaint toappear before this Court on the
drstday of the next term, to-wt: on the 18th day
Of October A. ID 1881, thereof to establish theii
claims and enforce their respective rights
Now therefore, all persons holding liens against
The canal and fumes aqueducts and reservoirs OF
The Jackson Water Company, situated IN the coun-
