Syllabus

<p>Appeal — Decisions Reviewable — Cessation of Controversy — Payment of Costs. Upon appeal by a nonresident plaintiff from a judgment of dismissal, with costs to defendant, the deposit in court of sufficient money to cover the costs, for the sole purpose of protecting the plaintiff’s sureties upon a nonresident bond that he had been compelled to furnish, is not a voluntary payment working a cessation or waiver of the appeal.</p> <p>Mechanics’ Liens — -Materials—Notice to Owner — Sufficiency— Statutes. 3 Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1133, providing that materialmen shall serve notice upon the owner stating “in substance and effect . . . that a lien may be claimed” for materials furnished to the contractor, is sufficiently complied with by a notice of the furnishing of materials, reciting: “Complying with the lien laws of the state of Washington”; 2 Id., §1147, requiring a liberal construction of the lien laws.</p>
