Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

It has been decided at the present term, in the case of Rothgerber v. Dupuy, 64 Ill. 452, that the law of 1869 does not extend the lien of mechanics and material-men beyond the first sub-contractor. This bill was brought by an employee under the sub-contractor, and can not, therefore, be maintained.

The decree is reversed and the cause remanded.

Decree reversed.
