BROWN, C.
This is a suit by the collector of the revenue for Dade county to recover certain taxes, amounting to $17.92, for the use of Lockwood school district, in said county, for which judgment was given in his favor by the circuit court, from which this appeal was taken. It is submitted here upon an agreed statement of facts, which is as follows:
