tinuing on in the order of said list from day to day if neces-
sary, from half-past ten o'clock A. M. to three o'clock P. M.,
Sundays and legal holidays excepted, until all have been offered
for sale; and on said day of sale, said County Treasurer shall
proceed to make sale in conformity with his said published
notice. No piece of such forfeited real estate offered for sale
as aforesaid shall be sold for less than the total of the taxes,
interest, penalties and costs of sale, including such tax or
taxes, interest and penalties as would have been levied upon it
had it remained on said county assessment books, for which it
is then liable; and if no such bid for the same be made, it shall
be withdrawn from such public sale; thereafter said County
Commissioners of Prince George's County are authorized and
empowered to sell the same, at public or private sale, for such
price as they may deem advisable, and upon payment of the
whole purchase money for any parcel of forfeited real estate
sold as aforesaid, and not before, to said County Commis-
sioners, the County Commissioners shall execute to the
purchaser thereof a good deed in fee-simple thereof. But
the owner or owners of any parcel of real estate, forfeited, or
forfeited and sold, as hereinbefore provided, may at any time,
prior to the actual payment of the purchase money for such
parcel of real estate by the purchaser, pay to said County
Treasurer for the time being, the total of all taxes, interest,
penalties and costs of sale due and accrued to date on account
of, upon and against such parcel of real estate, including such
tax or taxes, interest and penalties as would have been levied
upon it had it remained on said County assessment books, and
thereupon such forfeiture or forfeiture and sale shall cease
to be of any force and effect and become null and void; and
such owner or owners shall become revested of his, her or their
former right, title, claim, interest and demand at law or in
equity of, in and to such parcel of real estate. The right of
redemption hereby given shall apply to any and all forfeitures
and forfeitures and sales of real estate, whether heretofore
occurred or hereafter to occur, and any and all such redemp-
tions heretofore made are hereby ratified and confirmed; and
whenever said County Treasurer acting under a formal order
in writing of said County Commissioners has heretofore re-
ceived and receipted for the taxes, interest, penalties and costs
due upon any piece or parcel of ground heretofore sold to the
County Commissioners for want of a satisfactory bid, the
forfeiture of said property shall thereupon cease as fully as if
said property had not been so sold to the said County Commis-
sioners. Upon such redemption, said County Treasurer for the
time being, shall enter upon the proper books of his office and
upon the report of sale relating to such parcel of real estate
redeemed, the date and fact of such redemption. Said County
