The Tax Lien Company of New York, Respondent, v. Mary E. Bird, Appellant.
    (Submitted May 4, 1917;
    decided May 22, 1917.)
    
      Tax Lien, Co. of New York v. Bird, 163 App. Div. 957, affirmed.
    Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department, entered August 6, 1914, affirming a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a decision of the court on trial at Special Term in an action to foreclose a transfer of tax lien brought pursuant to the provisions of the charter of the city of New York, as amended by chapter 490 of the Laws of 1908. The defense was that there was no adequate description of the property subject to the tax assessments or tax lien and as a counterclaim the answer alleged facts amounting to a plea of title in fee and of an unjust adverse claim by plaintiff and prayed affirmative judgment, barring the plaintiff, respondent, from all claim or assertion of title to said property under the transfer of tax lien set forth in the complaint, upon the ground that the tax lien and transfer thereof were void and invalid.
    
      John H. Rogan and G. Arnold Moses for appellant.
    
      August Weymann for respondent.
   Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
