Carter v. Baker

This is an appeal from a judgment in favor of the respondent Tax Collector of Fresno County and his surety in an action for damages resulting from the giving of a defective tax deed to appellant. The complaint contains two causes of action. The first alleges that the Tax Collector failed and refused to execute and deliver to appellant any deed after he had become the purchaser at a tax sale. The second alleges that the Tax Collector gave appellant a void deed which conveyed no title to him and refused to give him a correction deed after the defects in the first deed were discovered.
