together with the amounts of taxes due and in arrear thereon,
including all taxes on personalty due from the owner of said
real estate, with interest, cost and expenses accrued and to
accrue to day of sale, with a notice appended that if said taxes,
interest, cost and expenses are not paid on or before the second
Monday in April next ensuing the treasurer will proceed at
10 o'clock on that day at the Court House door in said county
to o€er said properly for sale to the highest bidder for cash,
which list and notice shall be published at least three weeks
prior to the first Monday in April; and upon the second Mon-
day in April in each year the treasurer shall proceed to sell
under the terms of said notice all property upon which taxes,
interest, costs or fees are in arrear and shall continue such
sale from day to day on each secular day, legal holidays
excepted, from 10 o'clock A. M. to 3 o'clock P. M. until all of
said property shall have been offered and disposed of.

262M. The said treasurer shall within thirty days after the
close of such sale make a full report thereof to the Circuit Court
for Harford County, setting forth his proceedings in the prem-
ises in detail, showing to whom and at what price such several
parcels were respectively sold, the amount of tax and interest
accrued, the pro rata cost of advertising such sale, the treasurer's
fees, and all other expenses and the surplus fund in each
instance; with which report he shall also file a copy of the
printed list and notice of sale. The said Court shall examine
the said proceedings, and if the same appear to be regular and
the provisions of law in relation thereto to have been com-
plied with, shall order notice to be given by advertisement
warning all persons interested in the property sold to be and
appear in said Court by a certain day to be named in said
order, to show cause, if any they have, why said sale should
not be ratified and confirmed; and after hearing the objec-
tions, if any, the Court in its discretion shall in one order
ratify and confirm all sales so made and then entitled to be rati-
fied and confirmed, and the purchaser or purchasers thereof
shall, on payment of the purchase money, have a good title to
the property sold; but if in the judgment of the Court, good
cause be shown against the ratification of the sale of any parcel
of land or other properly so sold, the said sale shall be set
aside as to such parcel or property; in which case the said treas-
urer shall within thirty days proceed to a new sale of said prop-
erty and bring the proceeds into Court, out of which shall be
repaid the purchase money paid to the treasurer on said rejected
sale, and all taxes assessed on said property since said sale, and
all costs and expenses properly incurred in said Court, with
