070rehearing

On Petition for' Rehearing.

The bankruptcy having intervened, and the clerks claiming liens having presented and established their liens in the bankruptcy court, it was wholly unnecessary to record the liens elsewhere^

The petition for rehearing is denied.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Considering that under the laws of Texas the owners of rented buildings have a so-called “preferential” lien (see Rev. Civ. Stat. Tex. 1911, Art. 5490), and that clerks, accountants, and laborers have a first lien only subordinate to the landlord’s lien in the case of farm hands (Id., §' 5644) we find that the priority in payment *130accorded in the District Court under section 64d, Bankruptcy Daw (Act July 1, 1898, c. 541, 30 Stat. 563 [Comp. St. 1913, § 9648]), was not erroneous.

The petition to superintend is denied.
