Opinion of the Court

*477Opinion.

Campbell, C. J.:

The levy of the county taxes on July 13, 1874, at an adjourned meeting, was fatal to the claim of title by virtue of the sale for taxes, on the 1st of February, 1875, and the land not having been shown to be of the class of lands to be dealt with under the “Abatement Act” of 1875, the sale on the 10th of May, 1875, conferred no title.

Affirmed.
