erty To Become Delinquent.
The following decision of a case
pending before the Supreme Court
will be of wide interest, as it pertains
to deeds for property sold on account
of delinquency in the payment OF
taxes, and will put people on their
guard. It is the case of Hamil vs..
Clover from Preston county, in which
the decree of the lower court was at
firmed by Judge Lynch. The syllabus
follows:
/. Mere failure to note, in an as
sessment of town lots, the estate Of
the owner, does not invalidate duly
recorded tax title acquired thereun-
der. When not thus noted an estate
in fee will be presumed.
z, A mere mistake in the owners
name, in delinquency proceedings,
does not invalidate duly recorded
tax deed. To have that effect, the
misnomer must be a, substantial de-
parture from the trueness OF such as
will mislead the owner, and thereby
prevent the exercise Of the statutor,
right of redemption.
