<p>Mechanics’ Liens — Foreclosure—Evidence—Delivery of Material. In an action to foreclose a mechanics’ lien, there is not sufficient evidence of delivery of the material at the property in question, where the only testimony was that some of the material was given the appellant’s deliveryman with directions for delivery, and most of it to' a subcontractor, the contractor being engaged in a number of houses, and neither the deliveryman or subcontractor were called to testify.</p> <p>Same — Amount. In an action to foreclose a mechanics’ lien, there is not sufficient evidence of the amount to be charged to the property, where there was but one general account for different houses, charging various items to the contractor, with general credits, from which it could not be clearly ascertained what was chargeable against the property, or what amount remained unpaid.</p>
