Clark et al. v. Michael Manning et al." ], "opinions": [ { "text": "Bailey, P. J.\nThe only question presented by this appeal is: Are the petitioners entitled to have their lien declared to be prior to the deed of trust? The statute gives persons who have furnished labor or materials in the erection of a building, a lien thereon prior to that of an incumbrancer, but in order to avail themselves of such lien, their suit to enforce it must be instituted within six months after the last payment for labor or materials has become due. In this case the petition was filed within the six months limited by the statute, but at that time only the owner of the premises and the trustee in the deed of trust were made parties. The payee or holder of the note was not made a defendant, nor served with process until nearly six months after the expiration of the limitation.\nWe have no doubt that Lawrence was a necessary party to the petition in order to effect his rights under the deed of trust, and the petitioners having failed to make him a party within the six months given for that purpose, their lien must be postponed to his. This precise question was carefully considered by this court in the case of Bayard v. McGraw, 1 Bradwell, 134, and on re-considering the whole subject, we are unable to arrive at any different conclusion from the one there announced. While the trustee is a necessary party because of the legal title being vested in him, his trust is not of that nature which can make him a proper representative of his eestuique trust. Until default in the payment of the note, his is a mere passive trust. His duties are defined and limited by the terms of the \u00a1Dower in the deed, and he is not charged with the responsibility of protecting the interests of the holder of the note in matters foreign to the proper execution of his power. He is neither bound nor authorized to appear and answer for the party secured, nor would a decree against him alone, assuming to determine the priority of the respective liens, be binding upon the rights of the eestui que trust. The trustee is in no sense the \u201c creditor \u201d mentioned in section 28 of the statute in relation to liens.\nThe law has been settled by recent decisions of the Supreme Court, that where suit is brought to enforce a mechanic\u2019s lien against the owner, and upon amendment of the petition a creditor or incumbrancer is made a party defendant, the suit cannot be considered as having been commenced against such creditor or incumbrancer until he is made a party defendant. So far as he is concerned, it can have no relation back to the time of bringing suit against the original defendants. Dunphy v. Riddle et al. 86 Ill. 22; Crowl v. Nagle et al. Id. 437. These decisions are directly applicable to the present suit, and settle the law adversely to the appellants.\nThe point is made that the equitable title held by Lawrence, having been merged in the legal title held by the trustee, by means of the trustee\u2019s sale, it must now be deemed sufficient that the holder of the legal estate was before the court within the time limited by the statute. We are unable to perceive any application to this case of the doctrine of merger, or if it does apply, how it can aid the petitioners. The title now held by Lawrence, passed to him by sale of both the legal and equitable estate under the power in the deed of trust, and was merely an enforcement of a lien, which at the time of the sale, was prior and superior to that of the petitioners. A title acquired by enforcement of such lien, whereby all subsequent liens were cut off and wiped out, cannot be held to have been, by the mere act of such enforcement, postponed to a junior lien. The sale having taken place while the suit was pending, the title thereby acquired was, doubtless, subject to the final decree therein, and had the petitioners been found entitled to the superior lien, the purchaser at the trustee\u2019s sale would have taken subject to their rights. But the meeting of the legal and equitable estate in the same person cannot have in the view of a court of equity, the effect of postponing a. superior to an inferior right.\nA further point is made, that Lawrence being a non-resident of the State at the time of the execution of the deed of trust; and ever since, the limitation prescribed in the lien law can have no application to him. Whether the mere fact of non-residence is sufficient to bring a party within the provisions of section 18 of chapter 83 of the Bevised Statutes, which excepts from the operation of that chapter persons who are out of the State, need not be considered. It would seem possible for a person to be a non-resident and still be in the State within the meaning of the limitation law. But we are of the opinion that the exception contained in said section 18 has no application to the lien law. That section applies only to limitations of actions provided for in said chapter 83. There is no provision of law extending its operation to the limitation provided in section 28 of chapter 82.\nWe think that the decree of the Court below is in accordance with the rights of the parties as shown by the record, and it will therefore be affirmed.\nDecree affirmed.", "type": "majority", "author": "Bailey, P.

That section applies only to limitation of actions provided for in the chapter relating to limitations.\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. S. M. Moobe, Judge, presiding.\nOpinion filed December 8, 1879.\nThis was a petition for a mechanic\u2019s lien, filed by William R. Clark and Lewis E. Clark, on the 18th day of December, 1873, in the Superior Court of Cook county. The record shows that on the 10th day of May, 1873, the petitioners agreed to construct a certain building for Michael W. Manning, one of the defendants, for the sum of $2,800, upon a lot in Chicago of which said Manning was the owner. By the terms of the contract, the petitioners were to receive $1,000 as the work progressed, and the balance in thirty days after the completion of the building. The last work was done, and the building fully completed, according to the contract, on the 29th day of July, 1873, and on the 28th day of August following, thirty days after the completion of the building, there remained due the petitioners the sum of $1,750.78, on account of said contract. This sum is still unpaid.\nAt the time of filing the petition, there was a certain incumbrance on said premises, dated May 29th, 1873, and recorded June 6, 1873, executed by said Manning to Henry L. Hammond as trustee, to secure the note of said Manning for the sum of $4,500, payable five years after date, to the order of Edward A. Lawrence, with interest at the rate of ten per cent, per annum. Manning, the owner of the premises, and Hammond, the trustee, were made parties defendant at the time of filing the petition. Afterwards, on the 3d day of July, 1874, the petition was amended so as to make said Lawrence a defendant. On the 28th day of June, 1878, and during the pendency of the suit, said trustee, on the application of said Lawrence, advertised and sold said premises under the power in the deed of trust, said Lawrence becoming the purchaser, and executed a trustee\u2019s deed, conveying said premises ,to said Lawrence in fee. It further appears that said Lawrence at the time of the execution of said deed of trust was, and ever since has been, and still is, a non-resident of this State.\nOn the hearing of the petition a decree was rendered establishing a lien on said premises in favor of the petitioners as against said Manning, but declaring said deed of trust to be a lien thereon prior and superior to that of the petitioners. From this decree the petitioners have prosecuted this appeal.\nMr. George O. Fry, for appellants;\nthat the suit was commenced within the statutory time, cited Rev.
