NICHOLSON v. NICHOLS

Mechanic's Lien — Contract With Owner of Land.

Unless a contract, express or implied, is made with the owner of the land, no lien can attach thereon for work done or materials furnished for erecting or repairing buildings thereon.

PER CURIAM.

It is well settled that there can be no lien in cases of this character, unless the work was done or materials furnished under a contract either express or implied. Weir v. Page, 109 N.C. 220; Thompson v. Taylor, 110 N.C. 70. There is no evidence of any such contract in this case.

Affirmed.
