St. Croix Lumber Co. v. Mitchell

Opinion of the Court

By the Court :

This case is reversed upon the ground that the law of 1883, which repealed the statute of 1877, in so far as it required notice to be given to the owner of the premises, affected the remedy only, and the court below erred in holding such notice essential to the validity of the lien for materials furnished after the passage of such law.

All concur except Aikens, J., dissenting.
