Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Taxation—School-lands—Result of Forfeiture of Contract of Purchaser. Where school-lands are purchased from the state on deferred payments they become taxable and may be sold for unpaid taxes, but the one who buys such lands at a tax sale takes only the interest of the original purchaser, subject .to a possible forfeiture for a non-payment of the balance due or the interest on the same, and if a forfeiture occur it effectually terminates the interest of the original purchaser and those holding under him, including the tax-certificate holder, and the full title to the lands then reverts to the state, free from any lien or claim for taxes.</p>
