 receipt of the statement as specified above, duly verified 

 by affidavit, shall issue a certificate to the owner of the 

 said sire, a copy of which certificate shall be forwarded 

 to the clerk of the county court in which said sire is sta-

INDIANA. 



A sire owner in Indiana who takes out a license for his 

 horse has a lien on the get for the amount of the service 

 fee agreed on. If there was no specific agreement, then 

 for the amount of the advertised fee. To make the lien 

 good against third parties, the stallioner must file a notice 

 in the office of the recorder in the county where the owner 

 of the mare resides. This notice must be filed within one 

 year from the date of service, and gives the stallioner a lien 

 as against third parties for one year after such filing. This 

 constitutes notice to all of the existence of the lien and 

 the stallioner may take the get in any township in the 

 state, in which it may be founds in an action before a 

 justice of the peace in that township. The notice must 

 contain a description of the dam, owner's name, name of 

 sire, name and residence of its owner, date of service and 

 amount of service fee, together with any written agree-

Where the mare and get remain in the hands of the

 sire owner will have a lien for two years from the date of 

 service, and one year from the date of filing notice when
