Opinion

Reade, J.

The statute provides that a written lien upon a crop, for advances of means to make the crop, shall have preference of other liens, &?. And such written liens are required to be registered within 30 days. Bat. Rev. ch. 65. § § 19, 20. In this case the written lien was not registered within 30 days. That fact w'ould certainly make it void as to third persons; but the question here is, whether it is good as between the parties ?

We are of the opinion that it is good inter partes.

The object of registration is to give notice. The parties have notice without registration.

There is error.

Per Curian.. Judgment rcveised.
