Meelclpellty May Uo Bsck Indefinitely After Revenue Lssg Delayed Case Is foist Involves Period Slice 1872 Jadge Connor. City Attorney William J. Bellamy has juet received from Raleigh a copy of the full text of the opinion of the Supreme Court in the Important back ts x suit of the City of Wilming ton againit Bridget McDonald and others, involving the right of the mu nicipality to collect arrearages of team indefinitely, the suit having been decided Iff fa? Hi' iff Ifc decision ia, in effect, thtt the city can collect back taxes indefinitely, the eaae in point covering s period from 1872 until the present. The decision ti sn important one to tbs city end bringe within the range of possible collection, perhaps, morethso $50,000. Tbe oaee went up on appeal of the de fendents from the decision in favor of tbe city by Judge Peebles of the Superior Court here, and waa argued before the Supreme Court by Olty Attorney Bel lamy aad ex Judge Jamee E. Shep herd, of Raleigh, for tbe plaintiff, and L. V. Grady, Esq. for the defendant. The judgment ot the lower court was affirmed. The opinion is as follows: Tbe Olty of Wilmington vs. Bridget McDonald et als , appellants. Conaor, J. This action Is prosecut ed by the plaintiff, The Oity of Wil mington, for the purpose of collecting certain taxea assessed againtt the pro perty of tbe defendantt tpeclflcally de scribed in tbe complaint. Tbe plain tiff allegee that tbe land waa lawfully sssaasad for taxation bv said city at the valuation and the rate set forth for years enumerated, amounting to $534.88. Tbe complaint also allegee that cer tain taxes were levied upon the "per aoDal property and poll of the defend ers Hugh McDonald and Bridget Mc Donald, amounting to $18.35. Hugh McDonald is not a party to this action. Tbe complaint aliegea "That under tbe laws providing for the collection cf taxea by tbe Oity of Wilmington for each and every year became due and payable on or before the Slat, day of December of each aod every year for which said taxes were levied and assessed. Tbe judgment demanded It thet tbe plaintiff recover tbe amount or eaid taxeeand interest; that tbe amounts ao due be declared a lien upon eaid property and that a aale thereof bo ordered, etc The com plaint waa duly verified. Th mis nn anneal states that on the c i l of tbe motion docket tbe plaintiff eekod for judgment against tbe fol lowing of said defendants, Bridget McDonald. William Bheohaa aad wife; William Bmlthton and wife. The eaid defendants through coun lei appeared aad asked leeve to file an answer to said complaint. The Court rerused the said defendants tbe right to file an answer for the reason that ibe same was not filed within the time prescribed by law or by tne rate aaopv rd by the members oi me Bar of aaid County. Thereupon tbe Court ren dered judgment al demanded in the complaint Tbe defendants moved ms minor m set aside tbe judgment upon the ground that the same is void in law and contrary to the statutes and the charter of said Oity and upon the fur ther ground that His Honor had no authority in law to reader the same. Hie Hoaor declined to allow said mo u. .h r!fndanta annealed. They assiarn as error His Honor's refusal to asta rrl l, flssM. permit them to me answer Tbe find ing of r.t that the time ror niing aoawer bad expired la conclusive and too well settled to require or jwetuj discussion that the extension of time is a matter within the discretion of the Court Boddie v. Woodard, 88, N. O. 8; Boose v. Jooea, 84 N. O. 587. 'The Court erred In rendering said judgment." The exception ii too general. There U no suggestion in the assignment as to the respect In which the Court erred. Tbe defend ant's counsel relied in this Court upon the bar of the Statute of Limitation, especially of tbe provision In the Charter of tbe City, 1868- 9, Chapter 198 The 8tstute of Limitation can only be raised by aBswer, but It would seem that this Court has held In Wil mington v. Cronly, 1 N. O. 888, that If pleaded the atatote would not bave availed tbe defendant. Aa BO answer was filed sad we find no error on tbe record we affirm the judgment with out deciding several questions argued before us. We find however that the iudgment includea the poll tax of Hugh McDonald who is not a party to the action and it ia not alleged that he owned tbe property sought to be sold. This amount should be stricken out. We see no reaaon why the amount due aa taxea ahoum not near micro... Tbe aaaeesment has tbe force and effect of a judgment and carriea inter est under tne Statute.
