In this case suit was brought by the appellants against the appellees to enforce an alleged lien for labor and material furnished by the appellants to the appellee Picotte by the foreclosure of the lien on certain described property alleged to have been improved by the labor and material furnished. On final hearing the chancellor decreed that the equities were with the defendant Klein (who was made a party defendant because the title to the property rested in him at the time of the institution of the suit) and the bill was dismissed, from which decree appeal was taken.

The only interest in the property which is shown by the record to have been possessed by the appellee Picotte was that the property was conveyed to Picotte and wife *Page 326 and constituted an estate by entireties. The record showed no effort to have been made by the appellants to comply with the provisions of Section 1 of Chapter 9296, Acts of 1923, Section 5360 C. G. L. 1927.

The purported notice of lien attached to the declaration and introduced in evidence does not comply with the provisions of Section 1 of Chapter 9296, Acts of 1923, Section 5360 C. G. L. of Fla., 1927, nor with Section 2 of the said Act, being Section 5361 C. G. L. of Fla., 1927. Chapter 9296, supra, provides the exclusive method by which a statutory lien may be acquired and enforced by a laborer or materialman against property held by husband and wife as an estate by entireties.

For the reasons stated the decree appealed from should be affirmed and it is so ordered.

Affirmed.
