Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1835

Burt v. Kurtz

Burt v. Kurtz
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided April 16, 1835
5 Rawle 246; 1835 Pa. LEXIS 39

Burt v. Kurtz

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

A claim to perpetuate the lien of a mechanic or material man, if within time in other respects, may undoubtedly be well filed after a judicial sale of the premises. Where the purchase money is substituted for the land, there is no reason why the lien should not attach itself to it, as it would to the land in the hands of the purchaser, were it liable to the charge. The liens in question, therefore, were properly allowed.

Decree affirmed.
