and in case the property so assessed is susceptible of division, said
examiner or examiners shall select two appraisers who shall go

so much thereof as in their judgment shall be sufficient to
pay said assessment, together with the costs of the examiner
or examiners, and the costs of the appraisement and survey
aforesaid, as well as the costs attending said sale; but before said
appraisers shall act in the matter they shall take an oath before
some justice of the peace of Baltimore county that they will act
fairly and justly in the discharge of their duties as such appraisers
(and for their services as appraisers they shall each receive two
dollars per day), but if the amount of said assessment and all the
costs incurred by the examiner or examiners, or surveyor and

plied with, the sale shall be ratified; and in all cases of the sale
of real estate under this sub-title of this article, the owner thereof
may redeem the same at any time within two years from day of sale
by repayment to the purchaser thereof of the amount paid by him
with the interest thereon at the rate of ten per centum from the day
