Syllabus

<p>Taxation — Foreclosure — Summons—Service by Publication — Sufficiency. A summons by publication in a tax foreclosure is so indefinite that the judgment is void, where it fails to state the day upon which the service would be complete, as required by Bal. Code, § 1751, although the date of the first publication was stated.</p> <p>Judgment — Collateral Attack — Grounds — Want of Service. Where it is admitted that none but a void service of a summons by publication was made in a tax foreclosure, the judgment is void and may be attacked in an action to set it aside, although it recited that due service was made.</p>
