1. Freeman was properly made a party defendant-on his motion. The record shows that he had an interest in the land, and in this respect the case differs from that of Byington v. Bookwalter, 7 Iowa, 512. The purchase of the larid by Freeman under an execution against Walsh, (the owner of the land at the time of the tax sale) whether made before or after such tax sale, gave him such an interest as to justify the court in making him a party defendant. And it could make no difference that he obtained the sheriff’s deed, predicated upon his certificate, after he was made defendant and filed his answer.
II.’ The amount paid by Freeman to redeem we understand
III. Plaintiff had no right in this action to be repaid the taxes paid by him subsequent to the redemption by Freeman. Byington v. Allen ante.
Judgment affirmed.
