Opinion on the Merits
On the Merits.
delivered the opinion.
This is a suit to foreclose an alleged mechanics’ lien. The facts are, that on December 8, 1898, the plaintiff, a corporation, upon the order of one W. T. Roberts," furnished him certain sash, doors, mouldings, etc., of the value of $104.20, which the latter delivered to the defendant Tomlinson in pursuance of an agreement whereby it was stipulated that, in consideration of $300, he would furnish the necessary material to complete the front of the first story of a brick building situated on lot four in block one, in Woodburn, Oregon. At the time this material was ordered Roberts, who was engaged as a retail dealer in such goods, wares, and merchandise in Woodburn, was indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of $86.61, and, having secured from Tomlinson the sum of $100 on account of their contract, he, without any direction as to how the money should be applied, paid it to the plaintiff, whereupon the prior bill was settled and the sum of $13.39 credited on account of the material in question, leaving a remainder of $90.81 due on ac
An examination of the testimony convinces us that there was not such a privity between Roberts and the owners of said building as to make him their agent, statutory or otherwise, and for the reasons set forth in the case of Fisher v. Tomlinson, just decided, the decree is affirmed. Affirmed.
