Analysis

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 — Heydenfeldt

Heydenfeldt, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.

Murray, C. J., concurred.

We held in Bottomly v. Grace Church, 2 Cal., 90, that to enable a material man to enforce a lien upon a building for materials furnished, it must be alleged and proved not only that the materials have *241been used in the construction of the building, but they must have been, by the express terms of the contract, furnished for the particular building on which the lien is claimed.

Testing this case by the doctrine of that decision, the facts set out in the complaint are wholly insufficient to entitle the plaintiff to the relief which he seeks.

The judgment is affirmed.
