CoMMuNIcATIoS.-T subioined com
munication has been received from one
of our lawyers:
PHOEBE. July, IS. 1878.
EDITOR RECORD: AS an item published
in your last issue in relation to laborers
or liens as perferred claims in bankruptcy
may have tendency to mislead many
persons who hold such claims, would
respectfully ask permission to state what
is the law in the premises. There is no
fact better established than that me.
chanics. miners and material mems liens
are secured claims within the meaning
OF the bankrupt Act; not to the extent Of
sou, as errone ously stated by your ill.,
formant, but to the full extent of the
several claims or amounts for which the
liens are filed. All the authorities hold
that a lien is matter OF equity cogniz.
ance and should always be protected and
favored against general creditors; hence,
whenever the employees Of mining COM
pany have good reason to apprehend that
its difficulties may lead it into bank
ruptcy, there is no security equal to lien.
That this is the law ia satisfactorily dis
posed of in Bumps Bankruptcy, and in
Sawyer's U. S. Circuit Reports. there
is an express adjudication by Judge
Hillyer which covers the whole grounds.
