<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. A description in a tax deed reading “Square 51 in the Third District of New Orleans, at Milneburg,” mentioning neither measurements nor boundaries, and referring to no plan, does not physically describe any particular property; and the fact that it is “assessed to Debergue” does not assist to indentify it as the property of “Robinson.”</p> <p>2. A defective description in a tax deed may be supplemented by reference to the title of the person assessed; but,such defective description- cannot be supplemented and amplified by reference to the title of a 'third person, with a view to identify the property sold with the property of such third person.</p>
