HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 1567

law in relation thereto have been complied with, shall
order notice to 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 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 rati-
fied and confirmed, and the purchaser or purchasers there-
of 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 pur-
chase money paid to the Treasurer on said rejected sale,
and all taxes assessed on said property since said sale, and
all costs and expenses properly incurred 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 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 con-
firmed, the said Court may pass all such other or subse-
quent 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. x

30. After the expiration of twelve (12) calendar
months from the date of such sale, provided the same has
been finally ratified by the Court, the Treasurer then in
office shall by good and sufficient deed duly executed and
acknowledged according to law, convey to the purchaser
or purchasers the parcels of land sold to them respectively,
and the deed of the successor in office of the Treasurer
who made such sale shall be as good and valid in law as
though it had been executed and delivered by the said last-
named Treasurer.

Whenever real estate shall be sold by the Treasurer the
owner thereof prior to the sale, his or her heirs, or the
holder of a lien thereon, may redeem the same by paying
into Court to be paid to the purchaser thereof, within the
period of twelve (12) calendar months from the date of
such sale, the amount of the purchase money and all sub-
sequent taxes paid by the purchaser, with interest thereon
