Syllabus

<p>ESTOPPEL — TITLE TO CONVEY — ASSUMPTION OP TAXES.</p> <p>1. A party who acquired by purchase from another is estopped to deny that other had a title to convey.</p> <p>2. Where certain parties, in the year 1887, buy at tax sale for the taxes of 1875 a piece of property, and assume payment of the taxes due thereon for 1880 and subsequent years, and several weeks later sell to another the same property, and that other in the act of purchase assumes payment of whatever taxes may be due on the property for 1880 and subsequent years, the party last assuming is in no position to raise the question that his vendors did not pay the assumed taxes and, hence, had no title to convey.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
