of such trustee or life tenant or holder of the defeasible
estate, and of all other persons who are or may be entitled
to any right, title, interest or estate in and to such rever-
sion or sub-reversion, rent or sub-rent, either at law or in
equity, and whether such other persons so entitled may
have vested or contingent interests therein, or whether
such persons or any of them are, or are not, in being at
the date of such redemption.

(c). Any petition filed under this section by or against
a trustee or life tenant or holder of a defeasible estate will
be sufficient in law and equity if the trustee or life tenant
or holder of the defeasible estate be a party thereto, and
it shall not be necessary for any cestui que trustent, re-
maindermen or other persons beneficially interested in the
subject matter of the petition to be a party to such petition,
they being represented by the trustee or life tenant or
holder of the defeasible estate for the purpose of the pro-
ceedings. Every petition shall set forth the location and
description of the land, the date and place of record of the
lease or sub-lease by which such reversion and rent were

or life tenant or holder of the defeasible estate shall give
