Syllabus

<p>[To be reported.]</p> <p>1. Where the principal contractor for the erection of a building has stipulated that upon its completion the building shall be delivered to the owner’, “free of all liens and encumbrances,” a mechanics’ lien cannot be filed by a sub-contractor, for work done or materials furnished by him toward the erection of the building.*</p> <p>2. The only connection between the owner and the sub-contractor being through and by means of the contract between the owner and the principal contractor, the sub-contractor is chargeable with notice of all its terms and stipulations and is bound thereby; he cannot have the benefits of the builder’s contract without accepting its conditions.</p>
