Syllabus

<p>1. Where a builder contracts to erect a building, he furnishing all the necessary labor and materials to that end, a laborer employed by him to do a portion of the work has no mechanics’ lien on the building erected under such contract.</p> <p>2. Mere knowledge by the agent of the owner that such laborer was so working does not amount to that consent which, under the act, would entitle a laborer to a lien on the building.</p>
