Taylor A. Snow, Appellee, vs. Jacob Glos, Appellant.
    
      Opinion filed April 19, 1913.
    
    Registration oe title—when a defendant need not be reimbursed for taxes and assessments paid. In a proceeding to register title a defendant who holds a certificate of purchase upon which the time has expired for taking out a tax deed is not entitled to reimbursement for taxes and special assessments paid by him while holding such certificate. {Kelle v. Egan, 256 Ill. 45, followed.)
    Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. Richard S. Tuthill, Judge, presiding.
    John R. O’Connor, for appellant.
    Enoch J. Price, for appellee.
   Mr. Chief Justice Dunn

delivered the opinion of the court :

The only point argued on this appeal is, that the circuit court erred in decreeing the registration of the appellee’s title without requiring reimbursement of taxes and a special assessment paid by the appellant while he held a certificate of tax sale, upon which the time for the execution of a deed subsequently expired without any deed being taken. The question is decided against the appellant in Kelle v. Egan, 255 Ill. 45.

Decree affirmed.
