MECHANICS LENS.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION FROM
JUDGE CLARK.
The DeCamp Lumber Company vs.. Toll
hurst ct al.-The Points Of
the Opinion.

In department two of the superio,
court, yesterday, Judge CLARK handed
down an opinion in the case of the De
Camp Lumber company VS.. Tolhurst ct
al, an action to foreclose mechanics
and materialmen's liens.
"The lien Of the De Camp Lumber
company and of the Woodworth Com
mercial company were fled for record
on January 2, 1892, and the lien OF John
Mccarthy was filed for record on Janu-
ary 5, 1892.
Defendants contend that these liens
were not filed within thirty days after
the completion of the building, and the
date of the completion OF the buildings
is the principal Issue of fact
presented for adjudication. The
evidence is somewhat conflict
ing and uncertain. Several witnesses
friends of the defendant, testified that
they we're in the building on November
20, 1891, and that it had the appearance
of being complete, but that workmen
we're then at work painting or varnish-
ing the stairs. E
"It is not disputed but that work was
continued during all the week following
said date. Some Of this work was but
remedying imperfectness, and not such
as to prevent substantial completion
of the building, which was all that was
necessary. Still l am of the opinion
that the evidence shows that some Of
the work done during said week was
more than remedying an imperfection,
but was required by the building con-
tract and necessary to complete the
building. That this was the
view taken by the contracting
parties would seem to be clear, as the
payment to be made by the terms of the
contract when the building was COM
plete, though demanded on November
9th, was not insisted upon nor paid un-
til Saturday, December 9th. The fact
that the entrance keys were delivered to
the defendant on November 9th is not
material. Occupancy, to be evidence of
completion, must be open and exclusive.
Fixing December 9th as the date of COM
pletion, the liens of the claimants, the
De Camp Lumber company and the
Woodwork Commercial company would
be filed in time; but the lien of the
claimant Mccarthy would not. Let a
decree be drawn accordingly"

A FINANCIAL CRASH.

The New Oriental Bank OF London
Forced to suspend.
LONDON, June S.-The new Oriental
bank is in trouble. 1t has refused as
sistance from the Bank of England and
decided to suspend. 1t has a capital of
SIC, 200, 900; its assets and liabilities are
$45, 100000.
The suspension was largely due to the
depreciation of the value of silver and
the consequent increasing distrust in
Great Britain of investments in silver
countries, and the withdrawal of capital
in the east, coupled with the unprece-
dented condition OF trade in China,
Japan and Australia.
