Shattell v. Woodward
| Decision Date | 04 December 1861 |
| Citation | 17 Ind. 225 |
| Parties | Shattell v. Woodward |
| Court | Indiana Supreme Court |
APPEAL from the Warren Common Pleas.
The judgment is reversed, with costs. Cause remanded.
Gregory & Harper, for the appellant.
J. W. Brown, J. Park, and Levi Miller, for the appellee.
The only question in this case, is whether a mechanic's lien can be enforced, under our statute, for work done and materials furnished in the erection of a schoolhouse, built by order and contract of a township trustee, for the purpose of common schools.
The statute appears to be so general as to include such houses, and we think, prima facie, does. If any facts exist that should prevent the operation of the statute in a given case, they should be shown in defense.
The judgment is reversed, with costs. Cause remanded, &c.
