Syllabus

<p>Taxation' — Judgment—Date of Filing Certificate — Nunc Pro Tunc Order Changing Date — Jurisdiction. Where certificates of delinquency were, by the county treasurer, delivered to the county clerk for the express purpose of filing them, who failed to mark them as filed at that time, and they were temporarily withdrawn for the purpose of copying them until June 10th, when they were returned and marked filed as of that date, the court has power after judgment, by a nunc pro tunc order, to require the filing mark to be changed to May 9th, and it cannot be objected that the judgments were void because the certificates were not filed May 9th fifteen days before the date of the first publication of the summons, as required in order to give the court jurisdiction.</p>
