8. T. Douglas, F. A. Greene, and P. PE. Quinn, for petitioners.
H. A. McKenney, for respondents.

Per Curiam.
The court is of opinion that the notice which constitutes the commencement of legal process, Gen. Laws cap. 206, § 7, is defective in not stating for what building the materials were furnished. Indeed, it does not state that they were furnished for any building or improvement at all.
Petitions dismissed.
