• 64 Fla. 466

Syllabus

<p>1. Where a copy of a printed advertisement of a tax sale is filed with the clerk with proof of publication as required by the statute, the mere failure of the clerk to transcribe the advertisement in a record under section 558 of the General Statutes, does not in view of the facts in evidence render void the tax deed in this case.</p> <p>2. Where a deputy clerk who was connected with the department of the clerk’s office which arranges for the notices of tax deeds applied for, testifies that he did not remember giving the notice, but would not say he did not give the notice, such testimony alone does not overcome the prima facie effect of the tax deed under the statute.</p>
