The court below erred in overruling the certiorari in this case. In order for a landlord to have a lien upon his tenant’s crop for supplies, under §1978 of the code, the landlord must furnish the articles as landlord.
Under this state of facts, we think, as said before, that the court erred in overruling this certiorari, because the evidence showed that Morris & Cook did not furnish the guano as landlords, but as agents of Adair Brothers. Nor- did the fact that they paid Shelton’s note at maturity entitle them to foreclose a lien as landlords. Scott v. Pound, supra. It would make no difference that they owned the guano, if they sold it as the agents of Adair Brothers. Judgment reversed.
