    HENRY McGUCKIN, Plantiff and Appellant, v. JULIA A. COULTER, Defendant and Respondent.
    Mechanics’ Lien.—Power of General Term to restore. On reversing a special term order discharging a mechanics’ lien, and vacating an order continuing the lien, the general term may include in the order of reversal, an order requiring the county clerk to restore the lien and the record of the order continuing it.
