Fitch v. Douglass

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Mason, J.:

John C. Douglass brought an action against Samuel Fitch and his wife for the possession of a teact of land. Fitch claimed ownership under a. *61tax deed which was found to be invalid. Fitch then asked to be reimbursed for the taxes he had paid, and also for improvements he had made upon the property. His claim with respect to taxes was allowed in part, but that regarding improvements was denied entirely. He acquiesced in the order holding his deed void as a conveyance of title, but prosecutes error from the judgment fixing the amount of his lien.
