Syllabus
<p>1. On the trial of a scire facias sur mechanics’ lien, the bills filed with the claim are not admissible in support thereof, when their correctness has been denied by an affidavit of defence filed.</p> <p>2. A mechanics’ lien attaches only to the estate of the person for whom the building is erected; and, where materials are furnished for the owner of an equitable estate only, and a claim is filed against the owner of the legal title by subsequent purchase, it cannot be sustained without evidence that the defendant owns also the interest of the person for whom the building was erected.</p>
