Arnold v. Sauer
Opinion of the Court
The property of defendant, Mrs. Lillian Thompson Sauer, was assessed in 1905, to “Mrs. William Thompson,” and was sold to plaintiffs in 1906 under said assessment. Plaintiffs have brought the present suit to confirm the tax title. No notice of delinquency was served on defendant, hence the tax sale was a nullity; and as she has been continuously in the actual possession of the property, prescription cannot be invoked against her.
The judgment dismissing the suit is affirmed.
