order notice to be given by advertisement, warning all per-
sons 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 objections, if any, the
court in its discretion shall in one order ratify and confirm all
sales so made and then entitled to be ratified 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
property so sold, the said sale shall be set aside as to such
parcel or property; in which case the said treasurer shall
within thirty days proceed to a new sale of said property
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 interest on all such sums from the time of
payment, but such sale shall not be set aside if the pro-
visions of law shall appear to have been substantially com-
plied with, and the burden of proof shall be on the exceptant
to show the same to be invalid; and for the purpose of
making a just distribution of the proceeds of any sale rati-
fied and confirmed, the said court may pass all such other
or subsequent orders as may be just and equitable, and shall
have as full and complete jurisdiction as though it were
sitting as a court of equity.

according to law, convey to the purchaser or purchasers the
parcels of land sold to them respectively, and the deed of
the successor in office of the treasurer who made such sale
shall be as good and valid in law as though it had been
executed and delivered by the said last named treasurer.
