• 21 Fla. 258

Syllabus

<p>In the trial of an ejectment suit for lot one (1), block one (1), according to the map or plat of the town of Brooklyn, a paper purporting to he a receipt for taxes, which does not on its face identify the land described in the declaration with the land described in said paper on which the taxes had been paid, should be rejected if objected to unless the party offering said paper offers by other evidence to connect the land in controversy with the land described in said paper. The same principle applies to a deed, the calls of which do not, from the language used therein, appear to cover the land in controversy.</p>
