Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Tax Lien—Conveyance of Land—Liability for Taxes. In September a son sold certain lots belonging to his mother, giving a deed duly executed by himself as her attorney in fact. The grantee, insisting on a deed direct from the mother, paid the consideration upon the understanding with the son that • the deed executed by him should be held until the grantor could return from abroad, when she would execute one herself. An instrument dated October 29 sent to her was executed November 3 and thereafter delivered. Aside from the execution and dates both deeds contained the same covenants, recited' the same consideration and were identical in terms. Held, that the lots were conveyed in September and the grantor is not liable for the taxes which became a lien November 1.</p>
