The objections were consolidated and heard as one cause. They were overruled and judgment was entered against the respective tracts of land for the taxes, and the owners have appealed.\nThe objections question the corporate existence of the district and allege that the district is neither a de jure nor a de facto corporation. It was held in People v. Leigh, 282 Ill. 17, that this question cannot be inquired into on an application for judgment and order of sale for taxes. To the same effect are People v. New York Central Railroad Co. 301 Ill. 54; People v. Zehr, 305 id. 501; People v. Cleve land, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway Co. 305 id. 460; People v. Zearing, 305 id. 503; Evans v.
