Syllabus

<p>Real estate — Purchaser at sheriff’s sale — Recovery of possession —Act of April 20, 1905, P. L. 289 — Defenses.</p> <p>In an action by tbe purchaser of land at a sheriff’s sale under the Act of April 20, 1905, P. L. 239, to recover possession from defendants in the execution, it appeared that possession was resisted by virtue of a parol agreement made at or about the time of the sale, by which the plaintiff in the execution who became the purchaser at the sale, gave the defendants the privilege of redeeming the land by payment to him of his liens against it within sixty days. The option had expired and nearly a year elapsed before defendants sought to avail themselves of the privilege so granted. Held, judgment was properly entered for the plaintiff.</p>
