Laws, 1869, 255), that he would hold the building liable for his labor and materials.\nThe fair construction of this statute is, that the sub-contractor, mechanic, or workman shall not have a lien until the required notice is given to the owner or lessee.\nWhen the notice was given in this case the contractor had failed to complete his contract; and there was no money due to him from the owner.\nThe remedy of -appellee, if any, is under Section 7 of the act referred to.\nThe judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.\nJudgment reversed.",
