Syllabus

<p>. Taxation — Foreclosure and Sale — Defenses—Effort to Pay— Mistake of Officer. Efforts of the owner in good faith to pay taxes before delinquency, which were prevented by mistake of the county treasurer in informing him that the taxes were paid, are equivalent to payment, rendering a tax sale therefor void.</p> <p>Taxation — Redemption—Payment Into Court — Judgment Vacating Sale. Failure to require repayment of a tax, in a judgment setting aside the tax sale, is immaterial where, prior to entry of the judgment, the amount had been paid into court.</p>
