Mechanics, Liens-luterestinSC Case,

In the Superior Court, on Saturday, Judge
Dobbin delivered bis opinion in the case of
James :. Forbes VS.. Mary +. Myers, execuUrix
OF Charles Myers, deceased. The papers in
the case show that this litigation has been
going on in various courts of this state between
seven and eight years. 1t commenced Dy Dir.
Forbes filing d mechanics lien against Charles
Myers, for a balance alleged to be due him for
carpenters work on the marble warehouse
corner OF South street and exchange Place, on
the 14th OF August, lS6l. The work was done
under a written contract, in which FORBES
agreed TO lease from Myers two lots of gr Dund
on Spring street, in consideration Of his receIv.
ing The contract TOR the carpenters work.
Myers executed the leases, but tney were never
executed by Forbes, winch WAS found to be
the case after Forbes was paid for the work
all that was due him, except BALANCE of
S4U3 69. THIS balance the executrix of Myers,
after his death, refused to pay, uGless Forces
would receive the leases tor the lots,
which he on Tarious grounds refused
TO do. Forbes then issued a scire
facias to enforce his lien against Charles
Myers on the law side OF the Superior Court
and Myers executrlX applied to the Circuit
Court OF Baltimore city for an injunction to
stay proceedings under the scire ficias, and to
compel Forbes to receive the leases. Judge
Krebs ordered the iniuncti, \, which Judge
Alexander subsequently dissolved, and dis
missed the bill. The case was then taken to
the Court OF Appeals, which court decided
that the contract 10 lease could not be specif-
cally enforced by a court of uity. because of
indefiniteness as to the period of time for which
the leases were to be made. Forbes then en-
deavored to enforce payment OF his lien under
the SCI. fl. in the Superior Court, when Myers
eXecutrix, through her counsel, moved to quash
the seire tacias, on the ground that ii was a
nullIty having been issued against Chas. Myers
alter has death Judge Martin sustained the mo-
ton and squas he'd the sci. IA. Fortes then fled
on the equity side OF the Superior Court bill
10 enforce his lien claim, and for general relief
against Myers's eXecLtrix. This case was ar
gueG some days ago by VIM. +. Frick a nd W.
Pinknsy Whyte, Esqs., for Forbes, and Benz.
F. HorwitZ, Esq, for Mrs. Myers. The prIn-
cipal defen nse relied on by Mrs Mysre was that,
as more than five years (the time of nnitatiOn
allowed by the statuts) had expired from the
time of fling the lien to the time of filing the
bill, the lien had ceassc to exist and could not
be enforced. Judge Dobbin has sustained this
view, dismissed conplainants dill, ana de-
cided that h. had no power 10 enforce the lien
and grant re,iet after five years from the time
of filing IL, and that the fact that Forbes had
heretofore iss ued a sci. ia. on the lien, which
hed been Quashed as nullity by Judge Mar
TIN. could not prevent the statutory limitation
of i've years IRON destroyin the lien, although
proceedings under hat scire facias had been
eDjoined by the defendants for several years
