56 Ind. App. 621 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1914
This was an action to recover for work and labor alleged to have been performed by appellee in building, constructing and equipping a barn, silo and outbuildings, situated on appellant’s farm in Lake County, Indiana, and for money expended by appellee at appellant’s request. The complaint further asked the foreclosure of a mechanic’s lien upon the property in question for the amount alleged to be due. To this complaint there was an answer of general denial, and plea of payment. Trial resulted in a finding for appellee against appellant and his wife, who was a co-defendant, for $942.91 of which amount $400 with an attorney’s fee of $50 was decreed to be a lien against the real estate in suit. Interest to the amount of $50 was also allowed on the balance of the sum found due.
