Book Description
Excerpt from The Law of Liens in Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 of 2 I. The right to detain a chattel or land, from the possession of the owner, until a debt is discharged. The right of a tailor to keep the coat which he has made from his customer's cloth, until his charges are paid, is such a lien. It is, at common law, a right of detention, not of sale. It presupposes possession of the chattel acquired by the consent of the owner; it cannot begin in a forcible or involuntary dispossession of the owner, by the person asserting it.

Excerpt from The Law of Negligence in Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 of 2 HE novelty of the plan adopted by the compiler T in the arrangement of this work, and the free use of the term Neglect, in applying it to nearly every infraction of law commented upon in the decisions of Pennsylvania courts, may, at the first glance, invite criticism. But if the legal practitioner, in the preparation of his briefs of law or paper books and in framing his arguments, will consult its pages, it is believed that he can at once.

Book Description
Excerpt from Mechanics' Liens in Pennsylvania: Under the Act of June 4, 1901 P. L. 431, and Supplements Thereto; With Forms, and Decisions to Date The first Mechanics' Lien law in Pennsylvania was the Act of April 1, 1803, P. L. 591, which applied only to portions of the City of Philadelphia. Other Acts were from time to time enacted without regard to "regular order or proportion" and the resulting confusion was so great that in 1898, the Pennsylvania Bar Association instructed the Committee on Law Reform to consider the state of the Mechanics' Lien law and "in the event of their deeming it proper, recommending the enactment of such laws as may in the opinion of the Committee meet the necessities of the case." In 1899 the Committee reported to the Bar Association, the draft of the Act, now known as the Mechanics' Lien Act of 1901. In drafting the Act, the Committee examined all the lien laws enacted in Pennsylvania as well as other States. The principles governing the Committee in the preparation of the Act are thus stated in the report to the Bar Association: "In so far as it was deemed possible so to do, we have adhered to the existing law and practice of this State, rather than make immaterial changes in accordance with the laws and practice of other States. This has been done partly because of the well established principle that he who asks a change has the burden of proof to show the necessity for it; partly because a method well understood should not be changed except for grave cause; partly because our methods are alone consonant with our general system of laws; and partly because an attentive study of the statutes of other States has satisfied us that the basic principles of ours are to be preferred. We have not hesitated, however, in extending the rights as well of the owner as of the lien claimant, where existing laws, and the decisions under them have shown the necessity therefor. While we cannot claim that the Act we have drafted is either perfect or strictly logical, we trust it will be found that care has been exercised in conserving, as far as may be, the rights of all concerned." The Act thus drafted was enacted practically without change. Subsequent legislation has been intended to correct minor defects which time has revealed.

Book Description
Excerpt from Of the Limitation of Actions, and of Liens, Against Real Estate, in Pennsylvania The writer's earnest purpose herein is, and as a legislator has been, that which the Supreme Court has lately de clared to be, the most important duty of the judiciary to make the titles to real estate as certain as possible, so that every prudent and intelligent man may know what his rights are (per Black, J., 27 St. R. 17) and that he may hold his titles and abide in his home in security and peace. This volume will exhibit the proof that the deci sions of our judiciary have, of recent time, been distin guished by the high purpose of making titles to real estate as certain as possible; and if the labors of the writer shall, in any degree, aid in that attainment, it will be the highest satisfaction expected from them. It is believed that the almost daily transactions within this commonwealth, demanding an accurate knowledge of the liens and limitations affecting real estate, amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars; yet no work even enu merates those liens, or defines the limitations of their duration, or of the periods when titles become invulnerable by lapse of time.
