18 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 9

202. If the property so sold shall not be redeemed at the
expiration of one year and a day from the day of sale,
provided the sale has been finally ratified, the County
Treasurer making such sale, when required, and on pay-
ment of the full amount of the purchase money, shall exe-
cute, acknowledge and deliver a good and sufficient deed
for the same to the purchaser, and such deed shall con-
vey a fee simple title to the property; and the conveyance
of the successor in office of the County Treasurer who made
such sale shall be as valid to all intents and purposes as it
would have been if made by the County Treasurer who made
the sale, and in any case where a County Treasurer or his
successor shall refuse to execute a deed for the conveyance
of real estate sold and ratified, the Court ratifying such
sale may appoint a special agent to execute such deed, upon
application of the purchaser, and said agent shall act pur-
suant to said order; and the Court to whom the report is
made shall have full power and authority in the same pro-
ceeding, on application by the County Treasurer or his suc-
cessor, to compel the purchaser to comply with all or any
of the terms of sale by process of attachment or other exe-
cution suited to the case, or the Court, upon such applica-
tion, may direct the property purchased to be re-sold, at
the risk of the purchaser, at such time and on such terms
as the Court may direct and if the proceeds from the re-
sale, after the payment of the expenses thereof and of
all costs of the proceeding, shall not be equal to the amount
of the purchase money originally bid therefor, the Court
may order and direct the difference to be paid by the said
purchaser, and enforce such order by execution.

203. In the event that any former or preceding County^
Treasurer shall have failed, for any cause, to make a full
report of or take any other proceedings that might be re-
quired by law of any tax-sale or sales made by him to the
Circuit Court for Queen Anne's County, in Equity, as pro-
vided for in this Article, then the present Treasurer or any
succeeding Treasurer is hereby authorized, empowered and
directed to make such report of said tax-sale or sales to
the Circuit Court for Queen Anne's County, in Equity, and
take such other proceedings therein as by law may be requi-
site which the Treasurer making said tax-sale or sales
should have done and was by law empowered and required
so to do, and the said Court shall have such power to rati-
fy said tax-sale or sales in the same manner as if said sale
or sales had been reported by the Treasurer making the
same, and upon the final ratification by the Circuit Court
