THE COURT stopped Mr. Coxe in reply, and said that, as the plaintiff had not brought his suit, nor filed his claim within three months after the materials furnished, and two years had elapsed after the commencement of the building, (which was thirty days before the 29th of June, 1833,) and before the filing of the claim, (which was on the 25th of June, 1835,) the lien had expired before the issuing of the scire facias. Fieri facias and proceedings quashed.
