Syllabus

<p>1. Judgment for taxes. The county court has jurisdiction to render judgment against delinquent lands, for taxes, at any regular term after April in each year, for the taxes of the preceding year, on legal and proper notice. The statute has not limited the rendition of judgment to the first Monday of May; nor does the statute, in terms, require that it shall be at that or any specified term.</p> <p>2. Same—'dismissed at one term no bar. Where application was made for judgment against the delinquent list of lands, at the June term of the county court, and the court refused to enter judgment, because the list had not been filed five days, and a new application was made to the next August term: Held, that the refusal at the June term, not having been on the merits, formed no bar to rendering judgment on the second application.</p>
