There have been instances where the conclusively regular effect of this statute was not applied in full rigor. But the case before us does not fall within any of those exceptions which are illustrated by People v. Inman, 197 N.Y. 200, 90 N.E. 438, where there was no means provided under then existing statute by which action could be maintained against the State; by Zinner v. Palmer, 298 N.Y. 558, 81 N.E.2d 99, where the question was whether the lands in issue had been referred to at all; and by Cameron Estates v. Deering, 308 N.Y. 24, 123 N.E.2d 621, where the tax had actually been paid by the owner and the land erroneously sold. The right to redemption is likewise barred by the Statute of Limitations.
