Syllabus

<p>MECHANIC'S LIEN — EXEMPTION OP MATERIAL FURNISHED PROM JUDGMENT LIENS AGAINST OWNER.</p> <p>The fact that a material man, who has furnished building material to a contractor, has filed notice of lien against the owner of the building in which it is to be used, will not, when the lien claim has not been paid, vest the title to such material in the owner of the building so as to render it liable to execution on judgments against him.</p> <p>Under Gen. Stat., §1675, exempting from execution material designed in good faith to be used in the construction of a building, such material will be exempt, although the completion of the building has been delayed for a number of years pending litigation, and whether the material is to be used by the one engaged in the construction of the building at the time of its purchase or by one succeeding to his rights.</p>
