Syllabus

<p>1. Mechanic's Lien—Registration. —The statute which requires the registry of the bill of particulars of work and labor performed by a mechanic, to fix a mechanic’s lien, does not require that the record shall be made in a book kept exclusively for that purpose. The lien is fixed if properly recorded in a book in which also mortgages are recorded.</p> <p>2, Same.—The statute requires that liens shall be recorded separate from absolute conveyances, but it does not follow that liens of different characters shall be recorded separate from each other. (Rev. Stat., art. 4304.)</p> <p>3. Registration—Pleadings.—A petition alleged that the record of the bill of particulars to fix a mechanic’s lien was made in a book kept for the purpose of recording mechanics’ liens; the allegation was sustained by evidence that the record was made by the clerk, in a book-in which such liens were habitually recorded, and in which also mortgages were recorded.</p>
