In case of the sale of any real estate, either for the collection of the taxes thereon or for the collection of other taxes due by the owner thereof, said real estate shall be described in all the proceedings incident to the condemnation and sale thereof, and in the certificate and deed issued to the purchaser at said sale in the manner described in the assessment thereof, and in case of failure of the tax collector to so describe said property in any part of said proceedings, certificate or deed, by reason of which said deed may be held insufficient to convey the property intended to be referred to, the said tax collector and the sureties on his official bond shall be liable to the purchaser at said tax sale for all amounts paid by him for such land, together with cost of suit for same. Should, however, the property be insufficiently described in the assessment thereof, the said tax assessor and the sureties on his official bond shall likewise be responsible to the purchaser, or in case the said liability has been enforced against said tax collector, then the said assessor and the sureties on his official bond shall be liable to the tax collector, or his sureties, for whatever sum he shall have been compelled to pay to said purchaser on account of said defect together with cost adjudged against him in an action for such lands.
