¶1We hold that the plaintiff had the right to redeem; that the auditor had no right to refuse to issue the redemption certificate, and that it was his duty to receive the money tendered by the owner of the regular title. The existence of an outstanding deed could not prevent the owner from protecting his interest from the inception of a new estate under the last sale. Decree accordingly.
