Legislative History

(1949 Rev., S. 7229.) History: Sec. 49-48 transferred to Sec. 52-380i in 1985. Annotations to former section 49-48: Unpaid taxes not a “first charge” within meaning of statute. 112 C. 652. Cited. 120 C. 671. Where plaintiff brought action to recover principal and interest of notes secured by mortgage but did not seek to foreclose, section did not apply and contention of defendants that cash value of mortgaged premises must be determined by court and applied to amount of indebtedness was without merit. 157 C. 44. Cited. 185 C. 579.
