Decision on the Rights of Min oes.

Decision on the Rights of MiDoes.
In the case of Moore VS.. Irby, Chief
Justice Bum rendered an important
decision on the rights of minor.
This was a petition to redeem GER
tain lands from a forfeiture for the
non-payment of taxes of the year 1889,
a sale made to Lne state. and sub
sequent sale to appellee.
A demurrer was interposed to the
complaint, which was sustained by the
court. Stephen w. Irby, minor, in
herited the lands in question from
his mother.
The question involved was the
right of the minor to redeem the land
after a sale to ,.-e state.
Mr. Chief Justice Bum said:
Section 6615 of the digest pro
vIdes: - all lands, city or
town lots belonging to insane per
sons, minors or persons in confine-
ment, and which have been or may
hereafter be sold for taxes, may bs
redeemed within two years from and
after the expiration of such disabil-
ity.'
1T appears from this that notwith-
standing the lands in question had
been certified to the state, the minors
right to redeem continued until two
years after he should come of age,
and his right of redemption in minors
is reiterated in section 1896 of the di-
gest.
THE state acquired its right to the
land subject to the minors right to
redeem under the law in force at the
time, and this right of the minor
could not be divested by any subse-
quent act of the legislature.
"The appellee, however, contends
that section 4641 of the digest, as
amended by the act of March 7, 1895,
cuts off the right of redemption when
the state has disposed of the land.
That section as amended does not de.
clare that the right of redemption
ceases when the state has disposed of
the land, but in connection with the
sections following only provides the
demption should be had before the
commissioner of state lands, while
the lands still belong to the state. 1t
does in no way affect rights already
fixed by law, as the right itself, and
the title. The amendment contained
in the act of 1896 of section 4641 does
make the change and none other. to-
wit, that while the original law, sec
tion 4641, restricts the right of re-
demption to the owner. the amenda-
tory act extends the right to the own
er's heirs and assigns"
The decree is reversed and the
cause is remanded with directions to
overrule the demurrer and to enter a
decree in accordance with this opin-
ion.
