        "text": "COCKRILL, C. J.\nThe abstract of the appellee states that the only question in this case is whether a lien upon a mare prescribed by the statute for the benefit of the keeper of a jack, (Mansfield\u2019s Digest, sec. 4468), shall take precedence of a prior recorded mortgage executed after the passage of the act. The circuit court determined the question in the affirmative.\nThe statute under consideration does not evince the intention to give preference to the statutory lien, and in the absence of a legislative intent to that effect, the courts have not, unless in exceptional instances, permitted the lien created by the statute to become paramount to a prior recorded mortgage. Jones on Liens, secs. 691-3, and cases cited; Jones on Chattel Mortg., sec. 474.\nIn accordance with this rule it has been decided by this court that a mechanic\u2019s lien is subordinate to a prior recorded mortgage. Brown v. Morrison, 5 Ark., 217; McCollock v. Caldwell, 8 Ib., 231. The statute upon the subject of mechanic\u2019s liens, passed since these dicisions, has conformed, in express terms, to the .rule established by them. Mansfield\u2019s Digest, secs. 4408, 4410.\nWithout express legislative declaration to that effect, the landlord\u2019s lien upon crops for the rent of the demised premises is adjudged by this court to be superior to a prior mortgage, notwithstanding a mortgage upon an unplanted crop is authorized by statute. But the preference is given because the statutory lien is coeval with the tenancy \u2014 the tenant being incapable of creating an interest in his mortgagee greater than he himself has. Hammock v. Creekmore, 48 Ark., 266. The lands are demised by the landlord upon the condition imposed by the statute, that he shall have alien on the fruits thereof for the payment of his rent, and all who contract with the tenant are bound to take notice of that fact. The landlord\u2019s lien is not an exception, therefore, to the rule. The court erred in giving the statutory lien preference.\nLet the judgment be reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial.",
