Rogers v. Ward

Opinion of the Court

Caton, C. J.

These were all petitions for mechanics’ liens, and in none of them do the petitioners show, that by the contracts, the work was to be completed within two years from the time when the contracts were made. It has been repeatedly decided by this court, that this objection is fatal, for which the decrees must be reversed and the suits remanded.
