On a proceeding under section 23 of the Mechanics\u2019 Liens Act (J. & A. 1i 7161) to enforce a lien on bonds, issued by a city, in payment for the erection of a sewer, to a contractor to whom complainant had furnished material, where the court finds that the city, after being served with notice of the lien on the bonds, delivered them to the contractor, and that the latter sold them to a corporation, which paid for them, and delivered them to the treasurer of such' corporation which was controlled by the treasurer, it is error to enter a personal decree against the treasurer for the failure of the company and of him, as its treasurer, to deliver over the bonds as decreed by the court.\nHarry A, Biossat, for appellant.\nHollett, Satjter & Hollett, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols.
