    SMITH vs. AUDITOR GENERAL,
    No. 16274½.
   To compel respondent to issue a deed to relator of certain land which the State had bid in upon sale for delinquent taxes.

Order to show cause denied April 27, 1897.

Relator had applied by mail enclosing a certain sum which was insufficient to cover tax, costs, interest and charges.

Its receipt was acknowledged and the shortage called to relator’s attention. Relator afterwards remitted the amount, but in the meantime another applicant had paid in the full amount and received a deed.
