Mifflin Twp. v. MacEy Et Ux.

Opinion by

Parker, J.,

This appeal raises the single question whether a sheriff’s sale of an undivided interest in real estate divests the liens of taxes, which are liens upon the entire property, where the sale yields a sufficient sum to cover such taxes and the amount of such taxes is definite in amount, due and payable. The court below held that the liens were divested as to the undivided one-third sold, but that the liens on the remaining two-thirds were not divested. We are of the opinion that the court below erred and that the liens of all the taxes were divested.
