MATTER OF MECHANIC'S LIEN

GILDERSLEEVE, J.

The owner of the property discharged a mechanic's lien by the payment of money into court, in accordance with the provisions of the Lien Law (chap. 418, Laws of 1897).

He now asks leave to substitute a bond in place of the money. The statute contains no provision for such a proceeding, and I am unable to find any precedent therefor. It seems to me that the court is without jurisdiction to make the order asked for.

Motion denied. No costs.
