1Opinion of the CourtThompson, J.
The plaintiff, a licensed building contrac-
tor, has appealed from a judgment of foreclosure of a mechanic’s lien which was rendered in his favor to secure the payment of $2,441.92 and interest. The court disallowed his claim to the extent of $1108.63, which amount he voluntarily paid to a subcontractor pursuant to an agreement which was held to be illegal for the reason that the subcontractor was not licensed as required by the Statutes of 1929. (Stats. 1929, p. 1591, 1 Deering’s Gen. Laws of Calif, of 1931, p. 722, Act 1660.) The appellant contends this item should have been allowed.
