to law and pay over to the parties entitled thereto the taxes col-

urer shall be liable for all sums of money collected by him on
account of State and county taxes as aforesaid, until the
same shall have been duly accounted for and paid over accord-

taxes that may be levied by the County Commissioners for St.
Mary's county and shall have power and authority to receive
and collect said taxes and to enforce payment thereof and to
convey title to any real or personal estate sold by him for the
payment thereof, and when there be no bidders for properties
offered for sale, it shall be lawful for the County Commis-
sioners of said county to purchase said real estate and to con-
vey the same, when sold by them, by good and sufficient deed.
The sale of any real estate sold shall be reported to the Circuit

of County School Commissioners, one-fourth each on or before

part of the real estate as may be necessary to pay the said
taxes. He shall be entitled to the following fees: forgiving
