Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Tax Deeds — Contiguous Irregular Tracts — Presumption. Where a tax deed has been recorded more than five years it will be presumed that several subdivisions of land described therein, appearing to be contiguous, comprise one entire tract. This presumption will prevail although the boundaries of such lands are irregular or unusual.</p> <p>2. - Evidence that Distinct Tracts Were Conveyed. As against the grantee of such a tax deed, in possession, it is not error to reject testimony offered to show that such a body of land was patented, owned and conveyed in three distinct tracts.</p>
