- Syllabus
- 1. Where, in the principal contract for the erection of a building, there is a stipulation that the contractor shall permit no liens to be filed against it, such stipulation will deprive a sub-contractor of the right to file a mechanics’ lien: Schroeder v. Galland, ante 277. 2. If, after a contract with such a stipulation, a sub-contractor join in a guaranty of performance on the part of the contractor, the fact that alterations of the plans are subsequently made will have no effect upon the sub-conti-actor’s right to file such lien. 8. That the sub-contractor did not sign his name at the foot of the guaranty, but wrote it in the blank left at the head thereof for the names of several obligors, is a good execution of the guaranty, and the same will be obligatory upon him as such.
