The opinion of the court was delivered by
This case turns upon the validity of a tax deed. The district court found in favor of its validity. Three principal questions are presented on the record. It is claimed in the first place, that under the pleadings it was error to admit this deed in evidence; in the second place, that the deed was void on its face; and in the third place, that if not void on its face, it was shown to be void by the testimony aliimde. Of these in their order.
II. A second proposition is, that the deed is void on its face. It recites a sale to the county, and an assignment of the certificate to defendant. It embraces a large number of other tracts of land. The objections to it are thus stated by counsel:
“ It does not, as required in statutory form, state the amount of the bid for each tract, or the sum paid for such assignment, or to whom paid, and is shown to be upon the consideration alone of one year’s tax.”
“And whereas, the county clerk of said Jackson county, state of Kansas, did, on the 11th of May 1868, in consideration of the several sums of money, dollars and cents, taxes,, interest and costs due respectively on said several tracts of land for the year 1862, paid in to the county treasurer of said county,” etc.
These are all the questions necessary for determination in this case, and there appearing as to them no error in the ruling of the district court, the judgment will be affirmed.
