Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>The sale of real estate for taxes advertised as the property of “Widow Nathan Hart” who never owned it, is void, when the real estate was assessed at the date of assessment in the name of its owner “Widow Matthew Hare,” and belonged at the date of sale to some one else.</p> <p>A purchaser in good faith at tax sale owes rents and interest thereon only from the date of suit against him, and is entitled to recover from the plaintiff the price paid by him with 20 per cent, and all taxes paid by him for years anterior to his purchase and for years for which he is' charged with rents, and the sum paid by him for repairs, improvements and other necessary expenses incurred by him, and interest thereon, but not for insurance.</p>
