Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court February 29, 1908 (Devine v. Clark)

Hammond, J.

The petition as amended seeks to enforce a lien for labor performed and furnished in the erection of a building; and the question in substance is whether the statement filed in the registry of deeds was sufficient under the provisions of R. L. c. 197, § 6.

It is to be premised that a lien for labor and materials is not created by this statement.
