Syllabus

<p>APPEAL —INTEREST OE APPELLANT—EFFECT OF DISMISSAL — MECHANICS’ LIENS — SUFFICIENCY OF NOTICE.</p> <p>The conveyance of premises pending an action to foreclose a mechanic’s lien thereon does not deprive the grantor of the right to appeal from the decree in the foreclosure proceedings when he still has an interest, by the terms of his contract of conveyance, in the result of the action.</p> <p>The fact that an appeal has been dismissed upon appellant’s motion will not bar a second appeal, if taken in time, when the only defect in the first appeal was the failure to file a bond within the prescribed time.</p> <p>A claim of lien is defective in which the only statement of the terms and conditions of the contract is that the claimant agreed to furnish the contractors for the erection of a building certain windows, doors, mouldings, glass and lumber for the inside finish of said building, and that claimant was to furnish said materials at the times and in the manner requested by said contractors, as such a statement does not give the owner a sufficient notice of the lien claimed.</p>
