““The word ‘immediately’ in the statute means that the filing must be done as soon as practicable, under the circumstances, after the sale. It was not intended to signify that the filing might be done within a reasonable' time, unless it may be said it means that it must be filed at once within such reasonable time as is practicable under the circumstances.””
