Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Mechanic’s Lien — Subcontractor’s Statement — Name of Contractor. The requirement of the mechanic’s lien statute that the statement filed by one claiming a subcontractor’s lien must, among other matters, state the name of the contractor is not met by a recital that the material was sold to a designated person and by him used in constructing a building upon land belonging to another, although the person so designated was in fact the contractor.
