Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The lands in controversy were not segregated from the public domain, and the title thereto remained in the United States until the issuance of the patent; therefore they were not taxable by the state of Florida at the several times they were listed for taxes and sold for nonpayment thereof.

In the other questions involved in the case we find no reversible error.

The decree appealed from is affirmed.
