land, as sheriff and collector aforesaid, in the same man-
ner and with the same power and privilege as are now al-
lowed by law, and in the same manner and to the same

make affidavit before any justice of the peace of said
county, that he or she believes the same to be unjust, or

person claiming the same, it shall forever bar such claims;
and provided, that nothing in this act shall be construed
to effect the estate of any deceased person; and provided
