Jones and the objecting heirs are tenants in common, and that Mr. Jones in paying taxes on the property acted as an agent for the benefit of all persons holding an interest. It is maintained a person having an interest as an heir is forbidden by law to acquire a tax deed to a property to the injury of other heirs holding a common interest.

Jones, of Niantic, for a small Niantic residence property in which Mr.

Jones has an interest as an-heir. Other heirs, signing the objection, are Mrs. Mary Shuey, Hazel Frye, Francis E. Jarrett and Dennis L. Jarrett.
