ty, deceased, that James S. Nelson, by the name
of Stewart Nelson, was one of the Commissioners
appointed for that purpose, who duly qualified as
such, and that he signed the report made by said
Commissioners by the name of James S. Nelson,
only two others of the said Commissioners signing

also guardian ad litem of the infants in said case,
and because the report of the Commissioners afore-
said was not finally ratified and confirmed before
the order of sale was passed therein; Therefore,

real estate under said proceedings, be and the same
is hereby made as valid to all intents and purposes
as if the said James S. Nelson had been so named
in the Commission aforesaid, instead of being
named Stewart Nelson, and as if the said James
S. Nelson had not been appointed special guardian
to the infants in said cause, and as if the report
and valuation of the said Commissioners had been
