Syllabus

<p>Mechanics’ Liens — Release—Consideration—Effect. A release given by a lien claimant without consideration to enable the owners to transfer property is void as between the parties.</p> <p>Mechanics’ Liens — Enforcement — Release — Estoppel. The giving of a release from all liability for labor performed or materials furnished, for the expressed purpose of enabling the owner to transfer property which was subject to a mechanics’ lien, does not estop the lien claimant from asserting the lien against the purchasers of the property, where the purchasers did not rely upon or know of the release and the same was given without consideration.</p>
