1Opinion of the CourtBobbitt, J.
The landlord’s lien on crops for the payment of rent in agricultural tenancies is a statutory lien. The English law of distress and sale for nonpayment of rent did not become a part of the law of this State. Dalgleish v. Grandy, 1 N.C. 249. Until created by statute, a landlord had no lien on the crop of his tenant for the payment of rent. He (the lessor) stood on “no better footing” than other creditors of the lessee. Deaver v. Rice, 20 N.C. 567; Howland v. Forlaw, 108 N.C. 567, 13 S.E. 173; Reynolds v. Taylor, 144 N.C. 165, 56 S.E. 871.
