Syllabus

<p>ENFORCEMENT OF LOGGER’S LIEN — PLEADING — RECORD OF LIEN NOTICE — EVIDENCE — REVIEW ON APPEAL.</p> <p>The complaint in an action to foreclose a logger’s lien is not demurrable on the ground that it does not allege', except as a conclusion of law, that anything was due the plaintiff, when it states that “under the terms and conditions of the said contract defendants became indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of three hundred three and 87-100 dollars.”</p> <p>An equity cause will not be reversed for technical defects in pleadings, where it has been fairly tried and decided in accordance with the proofs.</p> <p>The fact that notice of a logger’s lien was duly recorded is sufficiently proved by the introduction in evidence of the original notice with the auditor’s certificate of record thereon and by testimony admitted without objection, that plaintiff had filed the notice for record in the proper auditor’s office.</p>
