• 74 Ill. 426

Syllabus

<p>1. Mechanics’ lien—under implied contract. Where the proof shows that the petitioner for a mechanics’ lien furnished the owner of a lot, lumber for building a house thereon, that it was so used, and that it was furnished within one year from the commencement of the work, this will entitle him to a lien as upon an implied contract.</p> <p>3. Answer—when two witnesses required to overcome. Where an answer in chancery, though sworn to, states the material facts upon information and belief, the rule requiring the testimony of two witnesses to overcome it does not apply.</p>
