Syllabus
<p>1. Quit-Claim Deed — Effect of Acceptance. One claiming under a void tax deed but not in possession of the land, does not, by accepting the quit-claim deed of 'the original proprietor, become liable under the covenants of such proprietor, nor part with his right to the redemption money prescribed by statute. (548, 549)</p> <p>2. Void Tax Title — Right to Redemption Money. Where one while under no obligation or duty to the mortgagee to pay the taxes acquires a tax title, the mere taking afterwards of a quit-claim deed to the land from the mortgagor does not destroy or defeat the tax title, or, should it be declared void, the right to the redemption money. (549)</p> <p>Syllabus by Garrigues, J.</p>
