Mechanics, Liens.

To satisfy on inquiry relative TO the re-
cent modification OF the law on this saoJec'
we present the following brief and, we
trust, clear. state Dept of tho smatter For
more than thirteen years past every new
building erected 10 the State was subject to
lien of all persons who furnished either la
Dor or materials on their own account Tex
cludipe jourpeymen, apprentices and per-
sons who worked for others), and the liens
were without priority smous themselves, no
matter when the work wse done or the sup-
plies furnished. and were subordinate to
snch claim only as mortgage or judgments
which were upon theSiand before the ground
was broken for building purposes. But in
the working Of this law there was an at
tendan, evil which has been attempted TO
correct An owner might, after paying bic
contractors 10 full, be required TO pay bills
which the contractors had neglected to pay,
making the building cost fat more than was
expected or agreed. The recent law seems
to afford security against this danger, by
providing that where the coa4ract for the
building shall be 10 writing, executed and
acknowledged before ajus,ice or notary. in
like manner as deed, aod recorded within
fifteen days after its execution, the building
shall be liable to the claim of its building
SOntractor only, others have redress against
him, and without aby lien upon the build
log. This does not apply to buildings
erected otherwise than by written contract.
The law was signed on the Sd of April,
1872, and will 60 into effect at the expira-
tion Of sixty days from that time.
