however, that if said Treasurer shall deem, it impracticable to
divide the real estate assessed, he shall sell the whole.

610-C. The said Treasurer shall within thirty days after the
close of such sale, make a full report thereof to the Circuit
Court for Prince George's County, setting forth his proceedings
in his premises in detail, and showing to whom and at what
price such several parcels were respectively sold, the amount of
taxes and interest accrued, the pro rata, of costs of advertising
such sale, and all other expenses, and the surplus fund in each
instance: with such report he shall file a copy of the printed
list and notice of sale. The said Court shall examine the said
proceedings, and, if the same appear to be regular and the pro-
visions of the law in relation thereto have been complied with,
shall order notice 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 such sale should not be ratified and con-
firmed, 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 pur-
chase money, have a good title to the real estate 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 real estate
so sold the said sale shall be set aside as to such parcel or real
estate in which case the said Treasurer, shall within thirty days
proceed to a new sale of said real estate and bring the proceeds
into Court, out of which shall be paid the purchase money paid
to the Treasurer on said rejected sale, and all taxes assesed on
said real estate since said sale, and all costs and expenses prop-
erly incurred in said Court, with interest on all such sums from
time of payment; but such sale shall not be set aside if the pro-
visions of the law appear to have been substantially complied
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 ratified and confirmed,
the said Court may pass all such 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.

610-D. Wherever real estate shall be sold by the Town
Treasurer, the owner thereof prior to the sale, may redeem same
by paying in to said Court to be paid to the purchaser thereof
