COURT OF APPEALS.

"land-grabbers" law of 1896 The de-
cision of the court was unanimous.
The court held that mere Jack of
regularity in the sale of land, upon
which the taxes have not been paid, is
not sufficient to invslidate the deed by
which the purchaser claims title. Ia
the decision he court quotes the statute
which provides that The title of the
purchaser can only ne defeated by proof
that the taxes or lsyies, for the non-
payment OF which the land was sold
were not properly chargable thereon, OF
tnat tney hau been paid. The opiniou
fully sustains Tue statute. The laud in
vo!ved in the case at bar in valued at
S15, 1000.
