No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion — Bennett

By the Court, Bennett, J.

The question in this case is whether a contractor and material man has, under the Mexican law, a specific lien upon a building in the construction of which the work was done and the materials used. In a case decided at the last term we held, after an examination of Mexican authorities, that no lien existed, and that decision must govern this case. The judgment must be affirmed.

Ordered accordingly.
