Opinion of the Court — Hardy

HARDY, J.

Judgment was rendered in this case against plaintiff in error in favor of defendant in error, decreeing a mechanic’s lien upon the schoolhouse of plaintiff in error in Craig •county, Olda., in the sum of $262.90, and ordering said property appraised and sold for the satisfaction of said judgment.

The sole question presented by this appeal is the right of defendant in error to have a judgment decreeing a lien upon the schoolhouse for the amount of his debt. This contention has been settled adversely to defendant in error by several former decisions of this court.
