Michigan Supreme Court December 13, 1898 (Spaulding v. O'Connor)

Hooker, J.

In 1891, Vahey owned the premises in question, and gave to Spaulding a mortgage upon them. In 1892, Vahey deeded to Bishop, and the land was assessed to him in 1892, and in March of that year he paid the delinquent taxes for 1891. Spaulding foreclosed his mortgage, and received a sheriff’s deed in 1894.
