.yTl,crC, seems to be some difference
of opinion as to whether. "a: moi parties
can withdraw liens after. they have
been indexed IN the Clerks Office.
The Supreme Court decided last, year
that under tho act.of March 4tl, 1878,
agricultural liens must remain on fiji
in the Clerks Office, in order to secure
tue benefits Of said act. Since the de-
cision of the court, however, the Leg
islature passed the following act:
: AN ACT to amend all act entitled Gan
Act to secure landlords and persons
making advances"
Be 1t enacted, &C., That an Act ell
titled Gan Act TO secure landlords and
persons making advances" approved
March 4, l878,. be amended SO that
Section 6 thereof shall read "a follows:
"SECTIoN 6. That every lien for adj
vanccs aud for rent where the agree
mcnt is for more than One-third Of the
crop, shall be inaexed III the office Of
the Register Of ,Mesne Conveyance of
tho county in which the lie,lor resides,
within thirty days Of the date of the
lien, and the indexing of tho said lien
ahall constitute notice thereof to all
third persons and cntitlc the same to
the bepetit OF this. Act. Said index
shall siiow the names Of the licnor and
lienee, the date and tho amount lien,
and a brief description Of the place SO
cultivated. And for indexipg said
clerk shall receive fifteen cents tor
each lien from the party presenting the
same. sand said indexing shall be a
sufficient record Of tho same. And
the property covered by said lien, SO
indexcd as aforesaid, if found in the
hands of subsequent purchasers or
% creditors, shall be deemed liable to
said lien. Provided, That all liens
herein provided for shall be in writ
ing, except the landlords lien for ront
where tho amount does do not exceed
onc-third OF the crop: Provided, =,
further, That so much Of any Act or
Acts as Is inconsistent with the pro-
visions Of this Act be, and the Same Is
hereby, repealed"
1t, therefore, appears that indexing
I'm tho Clerks Office now constitutes a
sufficient notice and record of liens.
and that parties can take charge of
their liens after thoy have been prop
crly indoxcd by the Clerk.
