Supreme Court of Pennsylvania October 7, 1895, Appeal, No. 379 (Philadelphia v. Overseers of Public Schools)

Opinion by

Mr. Justice Dean,

The city of Philadelphia sought to enforce a lien for registered taxes against lots 8 and 10 on west side of Twelfth street, *260south of Market, having thereon erected two three-story brick buildings, used for school purposes. The property is owned by the defendant, a very ancient corporation, dating its original grants back to William Penn.
