Syllabus

<p>1. Master’s sale—assignment of undivided, interest in land sold. An assignment, by the holder of a master’s certificate of sale of land, of an undivided interest therein, though it may be valid as between the parties, is not such an assignment as is recognized by the statute, and it seems the officer making the sale is not bound to recognize such an assignment.</p> <p>2. But if the officer making the sale chooses to recognize such assignment, and convey the land to the assignee in accordance therewith, and report the fact to the court, no reason is perceived why it should not be approved.</p> <p>8. Redemption—of undivided interest. Where the purchaser at a master’s sale, of an entire tract of land, afterwards assigns an undivided interest in such purchase, there can be no legal redemption of such undivided interest.</p>
