Jtomeyn Giddings, as claiming an interest in, premises described. The petition shows affirmatively that no lien existed, because there had been no compliance with Sec. 4 of the Lien Act.\nThe statement filed was almost literally the same as was held, both by this court and the Supreme Court, insufficient in McDonald v. Rosengarten, 35 Ill. App. 71, 134 Ill. 126. And contrary to our opinion (see Orr v. Needham, 51 Ill. App., and case cited there) the law of this State is settled that against the owner, as well as others, a compliance with Sec. 4 is indispensable. Campbell v. Jacobson, 145 Ill. 389; McIntosh v. Schroeder, 39 N. E. Rep. 478.\nNo neglect below by a party to a cause will validate against him a decree- when the complainant or petitioner shows, by his own pleadings, that he has no case. Eberstein v. Willets, 134 Ill. 101.\nWe need not notice any other point, but reverse the decree, and remand the cause with directions to the Circuit Court to dismiss the bill.",
