Syllabus

<p>Mechanics’ Liens—Materialmen—Duplicate Statements to Owner—Necessity. Where a contractor for a building defaulted and went into the hands of a receiver, and the receiver and the agent of the owner notified a subcontractor for the tile and mantel work to proceed with the performance of its subcontract, thereby recognizing and adopting the same, the subcontractor need not give the owner duplicate statements of materials furnished, as it is not a materialman, within the meaning of Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1133, providing that no lien for materials shall be enforced unless duplicate statements shall be sent to the owner of all materials furnished to any person or contractor, that section having no application to materials furnished direct to the owner on a contract made by the owner’s agent.</p> <p>Samte — Duplicate Statements—' Sufficiency. The duplicate statement of all materials or supplies furnished to any person or contractor, required by Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1133, to be delivered to the owner, need not specify the prices charged therefor, but is sufficient if it shows the kind and quality of the materials furnished.</p>
