Opinion

Mr. Justice Wylie

delivered the opinion of the court:

The simple question in this case is, whether a mechanic who had filed a lien upon a certain piece of property, and* released it to enable the parties owning the land to make a loan, can afterward claim the lien as against those who have advanced the money. We think not. The decree appealed from is therefore affirmed.
