Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Compromise Tax Deed — Conveyance of Separate Tracts — ■ Consideration for Each Tract. A tax deed purporting to convey twelve separate tracts was issued upon a compromise of taxes, under the provisions of section 7672 of the General Statutes of 1901 (Laws 1893, ch. 110, §4). The recitals of the deed showed the amount for which each tract had been bid off by the treasurer for the county, and of the delinquent taxes charged thereon for each of several years afterward. The amount for which the assignment of all the tracts was made was stated in a gross sum, and the amount of subsequent taxes paid was also given in a gross sum. The consideration stated was the aggregate of these sums. The deed had been of record for more than five years at the time the suit was commenced. It is held, that the amount for which each tract was sold and conveyed may be ascertained from the face of the deed with sufficient certainty to satisfy the requirements of the statute, and that the deed is not void upon its face.</p> <p>2. - All Delinquent Taxes Not Compromised.
