Blackman v. Marsicano

California Supreme Court

Decided November 2, 1882No. 7,452PublishedCited by 3 opinions

Appeal from a judgment for the defendants, and an order denying a new trial, in the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco, Cary, J.

1Opinion of the Court

The Court :

The claim of lien in this case, in stating the terms, time given, and conditions of the contract, used the words, “ cash upon demand, in gold coin of the United States.” This was a substantial compliance with the requirement of the statute. The case of Hooper v. Flood (54 Cal. 221) presented a statement quite different in effect from that here presented.

Judgment and order reversed, and cause remanded for a new trial.
