Lambert claimed a lien on Browns
horse and buggy for keeping It, and re-
fused to let Brown take it. Brown be-
came insolvent and made an assign
ment, and Lambert sued for keeping
the property and levied an attachment
on It, the sheriff leaving it in his

held Lambert had no lien and he an
pealed The court says:
Lambert claims n lien for keeping a
morse and nuggy at his stable belonging
to Brown, under section Is. c. f0O-t.0Ttr-

remedies for the recovery of their

IN THIS action merged and destroyed the

action. so that it cannot be sued on
again: but understand that in law tho
debt is one thing and it's lien on given
property another thing, and that judg-
ment does not destroy the lien. Tho
creditor may enforce both, and his
election of one does not exclude the
