Syllabus

<p>In proceedings to enforce mechanics’ liens, a sub-contractor is not estopped from asserting his lien as against the owner by reason of the fact that the owner was induced to employ a certain contractor to build, by parol statements of such snb-contractor, that the contractor was responsible, and that if he was employed, he, the sub-contractor, would be responsible that the contractor would so perform his contract that no liens would be filed, such agreement being void, not being, under the Statute, in writing and there being nothing in it that operated by way of estoppel.</p>
