Cox v. Cagle & Sons
Supreme Court of Georgia
Cox v. Cagle & Sons, 112 Ga. 157 (Ga. 1900)
37 S.E. 176; 1900 Ga. LEXIS 81
Cobb, Little
Cox v. Cagle & Sons
Opinion of the Court
1. The general lien given to laborers under the Civil Code, § 2792, upon all the property of their employers, and the special lien on the products of their labor, given under the Civil Code, § 2793, arise only for the amount due for the work done.
2. It follows from what is above announced, that when a contract between an employer and an employee provides for the labor of the latter as well as for the use of his property, the employee is entitled to a laborer’s lien only for the work done, and not for the hire of his property.
3. The evidence authorized the verdict, and there was no error in refusing to grant a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
