equity jurisdiction and practice of the said Court, and with
all provisions of all laws and rules of court relating to the
equity courts of the County in which the property is located,
except as otherwise provided in this sub-title, to bar all rights
of redemption and to foreclose all alienations and descents of
the property occuring prior to the decree of the Court as here-
inafter provided and all encumbrances thereon, except taxes
arising subsequent to the date of sale, and to decree an abso-
lute and indefeasible estate in fee simple or leasehold, as the
case may be, to be vested in the holder of the certificate of sale.,

90B. FORM OF BILL OF COMPLAINT. The proceedings shall
be begun by filing in the equity court of the county in which

certificate of sale, (b) a description of the property in sub-
stantially the same form as the description appearing on the
