Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1836

Kinsley v. Buchanan

Kinsley v. Buchanan
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided May 15, 1836
5 Watts 118

Kinsley v. Buchanan

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Additional securities are, in their nature, cumulative; nor, where the parties' have not expressly or impliedly so stipulated, is there any reason why the one should be a relinquishment of the other. Accordingly, it has been determined, in one of the cases cited, that the acceptance of a bond is not an abandonment of a mechanic’s lien. That case is in point, and rules the present.

Judgment affirmed.
