1. “* * * It is now settled that the purchaser, at a foreclosure by advertisement, ordinarily acquires an equitable interest in the land which he may, during the period given for redemption, transfer in full to another. And that his assignee, if there is no redemption, will take the legal title when it matures exactly as the original bidder himself would have taken it. Gage v. Sanborn, 106 Mich. 269 , 64 N. W. 32 . # * Sjt * * * * * * * Such legal title does not vest at once upon the auction sale on statutory foreclosure (Jones on Mortgages, § 1884), but only at the expiration of the period allowed for redemption. Until the end of that period the foreclosure proceedings may be abandoned, if the parties choose to do so (Dodge v. Brewer, 31 Mich. 227 ), or a subsequent mortgagee may still demand an assignment of the mortgage.”
