Montgomery County sentinel., 1941-08-14

the time the property was sold,
Mary F. C. Campbell was : the
owner thereof. and that, there
fore, the aforesaid property upon
which taxes were due and in ar
rears should have been assessed to
Mary F. C. Campbell instead of
Charles M. Campbell who had
died some twelve (12) years pre-
vious; that at said tax sale the
land described in said list and
assessed to the plaintiff was pre-
tended to be sold, but said de-
scription was not proper or COR
rect description of the land in
question; that the Report of Sale
by defendant, Walker, as required
by law, was irregular, illegal and
void; that the publications required
by law to be made by said defend
ant, Walker, were not inserted for
the time required by law; that
the plaintiff further AYERS that
should the Court find that the
taxes and expenses are due by her,
she is ready and willing to pay
the same and to comply with any
order of this Court with reference
thereto; that although said de-
fendant, Thomas M. Talbot pur-
chased the property on the 9Th
day of April, 1929 from ]. Forest
Walker, Treasurer, and received
deed from him for the aforesaid
Lots December 81, 1881, and
decided said land to Matilda Mar
garet Norwood and Frank D. Nor
wood, her husband, on August 8,
! 1885, neither the said Thomas M.
/ Talbot nor Matilda Margaret
! Norwood and Frank D. Norwood,
her husband, they or either of
them, have -mader any entry into
the land so sold by the defendant,
Walker, as aforesaid, and that,
therefore, the said defendants,
Matilda Margaret Norwood and
Frank D. Norwood, her husband,
who now hold a deed to the said
land, derived through the afore-
said Tax Sale, have no right or
title of entry into the land so
sold, more than five ~ years
having elapsed since the day of
sale; that the aforesaid sale and
deeds and assertions of title
hereunder by the defendants, Nor
wood, is casting a cloud of sus-
picion over the plaintiffs title to
said property, which is causing
serious and irreparable injury to
the plaintiff, for which she has no
adequate remedy at law; that the
defendant, j. Forest Walker,
Treasurer, as aforesaid, is resi-
dent of Montgomery County, Mary
land, and the defendants, Matilda
Margaret Norwood and Frank D.
Norwood, her husband, are of full
age and reside according to the
Treasurer's records in the State
of Texas and are non-residents of
the State of Maryland, and the de-
fendant, Thomas M. Talbot, is a
nonresident of the State of Mary
land, resides in the State Of Wash
ington.
The bill then prays that the said
sale made by j. Forest Walker to
the said Thomas M. Talbot of
Lots Numbered Four az and Five
| (5), as aforesaid, may be can
celled, vacated, annulled and set
aside; that the deed from the said
j. Forest Walker, Treasurer of
Montgomery County, Maryland, to
the said Thomas M. Talbot may
be cancelled, vacated, annulled and
set aside. and the deed from the
defendant, Thomas M. Talbot and
Katherine M. Talbot, his wife, to
the defendant, Matilda Margaret
Norwood and Frank d. Norwood,
her husband, may be cancelled,
vacated, annulled and set aside;
that the plaintiff may have such
other and further relief as the
nature of her case may required.
1t is, thereupon, this 30th day
of July, 1941, by the Circuit
Court for Montgomery County, as
a Court of Equity, ordered that
the plaintiff by causing a copy of
this order to be inserted in some
newspaper published in said Mont
| gomery County once In each OF
four successive weeks before the
30th day of August, 1871, give

garet Norwood and Frank D.

dents of the State of Maryland,
of the object and substance of this
bill, warming them to be and ap-
pear in this Court, in person or
by solicitor, on or before the 18th
