The Act of May 23d, 1874, section 37, Pamph. L., 230, expressly provides that recovery may be had on claims for taxes, “ by action of debt to recover a general judgment, or proceedings may be had by scire facias, as in the case of mechanics’ claims.” In the former case it is clearly not necessary to show that the tax is a lien on any particular real estate.

It is enough that the tax was duly assessed against the defendant.

Judgment affirmed.
