The place for the redemption of lands sold for taxes, under the-act of 1883 (Chapter 3413) was in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the county in which the lands were situated, but the recognized rule is that provisions for the redemption of lands sold for taxes should be liberally construed, and a redemption can take place out of the clerk’s office, as well as in. it, if the holder of the tax sale certificate consents to it.</p> <p>2. The facts of this case show that the holder of the tax sale certificates mentioned in the opinion accepted the money due and consented to a redemption of the lands out of the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court before the expiration of the time for-redemption, and there was consequently a redemption of the lands from the tax sales.</p>
