Galhoon, L,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The tax sale was on an assessment under the Madison act, approved March 8, 1888 (Laws 1888, ch. 9, p. 24), and was void. Hawkins v. Mangum, 78 Miss., 97 (s.c., 28 South. Rep., 872). The case of Butts v. Ricks, 82 Miss., 533 (s.c., 34 South. Rep., 354), is not in point.
