  a  lienor has wilfully exaggerated the amount for which he claims a lien
  as stated in his notice of lien, his lien shall be declared to  be  void
  and  no recovery shall be had thereon. No such lienor shall have a right
  to file any other or further lien  for  the  same  claim.  A  second  or
  subsequent  lien  filed  in contravention of this section may be vacated
  upon application to the court on two days' notice.
