Syllabus

<p>1. Tax deed—whether it must be supported by a judgment and precept. A party relying upon a tax deed as title, must produce a valid judgment against the land for the taxes, and a precept under which the sale was made, in support of the deed.</p> <p>2. Practice—of the order of introducing proof. In such case, however, it is not essential that the judgment and precept shall be first given in evidence, but the party may first introduce his deed, if, upon objection being made, he will offer to follow it up by producing the judgment and precept.</p>
