Webster v. People ex rel. Binkert

At the May term, 1880, of the county court of Adams county, the collector applied for a judgment against lands and lots in the city of Quincy, for delinquent taxes. Appellant had paid his State, county and city school tax, and so far as relates to his property, the only dispute is as to taxes due the city of Quincy for the year 1879, and previous years. On the filing of the collector’s report appellant filed objections, which, after a hearing, were overruled and judgment rendered for the sale of the lots for the payment of the taxes.
