If the owner of real estate directs an
agent to purchase it at tax sale, take the
certificate in his own name and then 10

principal and the agent purchases as OIL
rected but fails to assign or transmit the
certificate, and instead thereof treats II
as his own, paying all subsequent taxes
thereon and at the end of four years takes
out a tax deed fair on its face for him
self and thereafter transfers the property
to an innocent purchaser who enters into
possession of the same, and the principal
makes no demand for the certificate or
tax deed nor for possession, and pays no
subsequent taxes on the property, nor
makes any claim of ownership for about
eleven years after the tax sale and about
seven years after the execution and re-
cording of the tax deed. when the pr1n-
cipaI executes a deed to the plaintiff who
then brings an action to recover the prop
erty, Held; that the tax deed under which
defendant holds having been of record for
more than five years before the litigation
is begun the action is barred by the five
years statute of limitations and Held fur
Their that neither the principal nor the
plaintiff is in a position to defeat the tax
deed as against the defendant on the
theory that the purchase of the real
estate by the agent at the tax sale was
only a payment of the taxes.
