Syllabus

<p>Judgment — Opening judgment — Consideration—Lien—Release of mechanic's lien.</p> <p>A judgment entered on a judgment note will not be opened, where it appears that the defendant who was the owner of a house, made the note to the order of her contractor and delivered it to her agent; that subsequently a subcontractor in consideration of the release of a valid mechanic’s lien accepted in payment of his claim the note in question, and checks of the contractor and defendant’s agent. In such a case it is immaterial as far as the subcontractor is concerned that the contractor may have falsely represented to the agent that the subcontractor was the only remaining person who had a right to file a lien.</p>
