1. The statutory lien given to a me-
chanic, artisan or tradesman on an article
of property upon which he has bestowed
labor and expense (Gen. Stat. 1893 Sec
4S0S) is an extension of the common law
lien. and a stipulation which postpones
payment for the labor and expense after
completion and delivery does not neces-
sarily destroy such lien
2. In order to preserve the lien after
the surrender of possession OF property to
the owner the claimant must comply with
the provision of the statute relating to the
filing of a written statement with tho
register of deeds, but in the present case
It is held that the possession of the prop
ertv was not surrendered to the owner.

j. Whether or not 1t would otherwise
have been competent to show that the

used in another part of the defendants
