This is an action to cancel certain tax deeds issued to defendant, alleged to be a cloud upon plaintiff’s title and claim to the lands covered by them. If, upon the facts found by the court, plaintiff is either the owner in fee of tbe premises or the owner and holder of any lien or in-cumbrance on tbe land, then, under sec. 3186, Stats. 1898, be is authorized to prosecute this action to test tbe legality and validity of any claim, lien, or incumbrance on such land or any part thereof.
“The statute (sec. 2829) commands the court to disregard any error or defect in the proceedings which does not affect the substantial rights of the adverse party, and no judgment shall be reversed or affected by reason of such error or defect.”
The evidence in the instant case is undisputed as to the nature and the quality of plaintiff’s interest, and.this interest, though not expressly determined in the judgment, is fully set forth in the findings of fact by the court. It is not shown, nor can we conceive, how this error can in any way be prejudicial to defendant and call for a reversal of the judgment under the foregoing statute and decision.
By the Court. — Judgment affirmed.
