from day to day on each secular day, legal holidays excepted,
from ten o'clock A. M. to three o'clock P. M., until all of said
property shall have been offered and disposed of.

If the fourth Monday in December referred to in the afore-
going paragraph shall be a legal holiday, then the sales re-
ferred to in said paragraph shall be held on the next succeed-
ing day which is not a legal holiday.

107. The said Treasurer shall within thirty (30) days after
the close of such sale make a full report thereof to the Circuit
Court for Harford County, setting forth his proceedings in the
premises in detail, showing to whom and at what price such
several parcels were respectively sold, the amount of taxes and
interest accrued, the pro rata cost of advertising such sale,
the Treasurer's fees, and all other expenses and the surplus
fund in each instance; with which report he shall also 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 provisions of law in relation thereto have
been complied with, shall order notice to be given by adver-
tisement 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 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 (30) 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 Treas-
urer on said rejected sale, and all taxes assessed on said prop-
erty since said sale, and all costs and expenses properly in-
curred in said Court, with interest on all such sums from the
time of payment; 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 ex-
ceptant 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 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.
