HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 1839

warning all persons 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 there be, why
said sale shall not be ratified and confirmed; and in those
cases where no cause or an insufficient cause be given against
such ratification, the Court may in one order ratify and con-
firm all sales so made and entitled to be ratified and con-
firmed and the purchaser or purchasers thereof shall on pay-
ment 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, and the said sale shall be set aside as
to such parcel or property, in which case the Treasurer shall
within thirty days proceed to hold a new sale of the said prop-
erty and bring the proceeds into Court, out of which the pur-
chaser shall be repaid the purchase money paid by him to the
Treasurer on said rejected sale, and all taxes assessed on said
property and paid by the purchaser since said sale, and all
costs and expenses properly incurred in said Court with inter-
est on all such sums from the time of payment; and if the
purchaser has not paid the purchase money on the subsequent
taxes, said proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the
taxes for which the property may have been sold and all sub
sequent taxes thereon then in arrears, with interest on the
same according to law, and the cost of proceedings, but such
sale shall not be set aside if the provisions of law shall 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 with reference to any sale or sales not ratified and con-
firmed by the said order; 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 other or subsequent orders
as may be just and equitable, and shall have as full and com-
plete jurisdiction as though it were sitting as a Court of
Equity, to pass all such orders as shall seem just and equitable
for the purpose of advancing the remedy proposed and the aim
and purpose of this article and of doing full and complete
justice to all parties interested according to the equity of the
matter and after one year from the final ratification thereof,
no sale of real estate made for taxes shall be set aside for
any cause.

SEC. 90. Whenever real estate shall be sold by the Treas-
urer, the owner thereof prior to the sale may redeem the same
by paying into Court, to be paid to the purchaser thereof,
within the period of twelve calendar months from date of
such sale, the amount of the purchase money and all subse-
quent taxes paid by the purchaser with interest thereon at the
