Syllabus
<p>1. A release executed by mechanics or material men, during the progress of the construction of a building, of all manner of liens, etc., “ which we or any or either of us now have or might or could have on or against the said building,” is an unconditional agreement to look to the personal responsibility of the owner or contractor and not to the structure.</p> <p>2. Such a release, though made during the progress of the work, is operative to discharge the building from mechanics’ liens as effectively as though made after its completion, and for labor done and material furnished after, as well as before its execution.</p>
