Mr. Chief Justice Phillips

¶1delivered the opinion of the court:

¶2Appellee filed a bill to set aside a tax deed held by appellant to three lots, to which a general demurrer, was interposed, which was overruled. The defendant then answered, and a replication was filed, and a decree was entered as prayed for in the bill. This appeal is prosecuted, and errors are assigned in overruling the demurrer, in entering the decree and in awarding costs against the appellant.

¶3By answering over after his general demurrer was overruled the appellant waived his right to assign error in overruling the demurrer. Bauerle v. Long, 165 Ill. 340, and authorities cited.

¶4Ho facts are found in the decree and there is no certificate of evidence. There is nothing in this record to sustain the decree, hence there is error. Ryan v. Sanford, 133 Ill. 291; White v. Morrison, 11 id. 361; James v. Bushnell, 28 id. 158; Marvin v. Collins, 98 id. 510; Jackson v. Sackett, 146 id. 646; Bennett v. Whitman, 22 id. 449; First Nat. Bank v. Baker, 161 id. 281; McIntosh v. Saunders, 68 id. 128.

¶5Ho tender of the amount of taxes was made before costs were incurred, and this decree requires the defendant to pay the costs of this suit. This was error. The rule is, that on a bill to set aside a tax deed the complainant must pay all costs, unless a sufficient tender is made and refused before incurring costs. Gage v. Busse, 102 Ill. 592; Gage v. Arndt, 121 id. 491; Mecartney v. Morse, 137 id. 481.

¶6The decree of the circuit court of Cook county is reversed and the cause is remanded.

¶7Reversed and remanded.
