New York Court of Appeals
The Wiles Laundering Company, Respondent v. Herman Hahlo, Appellants
April 19, 1887105 N.Y. 234
Summary
The Court reversed the judgment, holding that the plaintiff had no lien on the collars and cuffs because the contract provided for monthly payment after the goods were returned, which is inconsistent with a lien. The decision rests on the principle that a credit provision defeats a workman's lien.
