Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Tax Deeds — Recorded Five Years — Statutory Form Not Literally Followed. In this case it is held that a tax deed which had been of record more than five years before any suit was commenced attacking it is not void on its face because it omits the word “publicly” from the clause in the statutory form reading “at . . . the sale begun and publicly held” etc.; or because it substitutes the words “no person bid” for the words “said property could not be sold” in stating the necessity for a sale to the county; or because, instead of using the statutory language relating to the assignment of the tax-sale certificate and all the right,, title and interest of the county in the property, it merely states that the county clerk duly assigned all the right, title and interest of the county in the property. The case of Bowman, et al., v. Cockrill, 6 Kan. 311 (1870), and numerous subsequent cases decided by this court, cited and followed.</p>
