Syllabus

<p>1. Judicial sales—time of taking out deed—limitation—the statute construed—as to sales prior to the act. Section 30, chapter 77, oí the Revised Statutes, limiting the time of taking out deeds upon certificates of purchase issued upon sales on execution or under decrees, to five years from the expiration' of the time of redemption, applies to sales made before its passage in respect of which the time to redeem had not then expired.</p> <p>2.' After the limitation has run against the right to take out a deed, • the certificate will become a nullity, and a court of equity can not compel the making of a deed to the purchaser or his assignee by the officer whose duty it is to make deeds.</p>
