Syllabus

<p>Mechanic’s lien—evidence of indebtedness—to be produced. The petitioner for a mechanio’s lien is bound, on the hearing before the master, or upon the hearing in court, to make out his right to the lien; and for that purpose to produce the original notes given to him, or to account for their non-production..
