Syllabus

<p>Appeal — Record—Necessity of Incorporating Pleadings. Where the appellant’s pleadings in the court below are not brought up in the record on appeal, and the evidence before the supreme court is insufficient to enable the court to make a satisfactory review of the controversy in the absence of the pleadings showing the issue, the judgment will be affirmed.</p> <p>Appeal — Review—Discretion. The denial of a motion for default, when there was an answer on file before the ruling was made, will not be reviewed on appeal in the absence of a clear showing of abuse of discretion.</p> <p>Taxation- — -Foreclosure—Owner as Defendant. An action to foreclose a tax lien may be brought against the actual owner, if known, although he is not the owner shown by the tax rolls or certificate of delinquency.</p> <p>Same — Summons—Affidavit for Publication. An allegation in an affidavit for the publication of tax foreclosure summons that the plaintiff is “unable to find either the residence or postoffice addresses of defendants” is equivalent to stating that the place of their residence is unknown, and is sufficient.</p>
