 ing the S. E. I of N. W. \ of lot 32, Richard's Survey, township 12, Old 

 Military Tract, Essex countv. were marked "void" on the tax sale books 

 of the Comptroller's office July 24. 1905. This action was taken pursuant 

 to the decisions of the courts and the opinion of the Attorney-General. 

 The applicant in this case was M. V. B. Turner, Plattsburg, N. Y. (790 



acres.)

Glen {John) and 44 others' patent. 



Lot 28, all in Edinburg 138 acres

Lot 108 250 acres 



Which were conveyed from the 1895 tax sale to the People of the 

 State of New York were redeemed therefrom September 15, 1905, by C. M. 

 Sumner, mortgagee. This application was made on the ground that there 

 was a mortgage covering these lots given by John W. Olmstead to Charles 

 M. Sumner to secure the sum of S200, which mortgage is dated December 

 10, 1895, and was recorded in the office of the Clerk of Saratoga county 

 on December 12, 1895, in book 163 of mortgages at page 289. 



Pursuant to section 139 of the Tax Law, as amended by chapter 373, 

 Laws of 1897, a notice of this mortgage was filed in the Comptroller's office 

 April 22, 1899. Through a clerical mistake in the Comptroller's office, ten 

 years ago, no notice of the tax sale of said lots was served on the mort- 

 gagee, and hence he claimed the right of redemption. (638 acres.)

The 1890 tax sale and conveyance therefrom to the People of the 

 State of New York was cancelled October 2, 1905. This cancellation was 

 made on the ground that the land was doubly assessed for each of the 

 years 1847, 1848 and 1849, for which years taxes it was sold at said tax 

 sale, once as resident, and again as nonresident land, and that the taxes 

 levied on the resident assessment were duly paid. (100 acres.) 



The different parcels thus redeemed contained, in the aggregate, 1,935 

 acres. As all these lands have been borne on the printed land list, and
