which said tax was levied, have been
paid in equal parts into the treasures
of said Boards of Commissioners afore-

been madc enormously and illegally,

levee taxes, on all lands purchased by
them where the titles which they Sc
cured by such purchases have failed
by reason of the payment of taxes be-
fore the day of sale, or where the lands
sold for taxes were at the time of sale
Chickasaw School lands or otherwise
not subject by law to sale at the time
of sale for taxes, State, county or

for refunding of any sums so paid
out by him as liquidating levee taxes
as aforesaid shall make satisfactory

refund said taxes under the terms OF
this act. And said purchasers, on the
failure of either of said boards, TO
