Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. A corporation may sue in its own name, without designating any officer. In such case, the corporation appears through its attorney, a denial of whose authority must be supported by affidavit.</p> <p>2. Bending an exception of misjoinder of parties defendant, the plaintiff is at liberty to cure the alleged defect, by discontinuing the suit as to one of the two defendants.</p> <p>3. In a suit' to annul a tax sale, whether the proceeding be properly termed a petitory or a possessory action, or one for slander of title, or otherwise, the defendant has a right to introduce evidence to sustain the validity of the tax sale sought to be annulled, and under which he claims; and this is true notwithstanding the fact that such evidence might incidentally tend to impeach the title under which plaintiff holds.</p>
