1. ““Defendant relies mainly upon the fact that the statutory period of redemption was allowed to expire before this bill was filed, but the court below found in this connection that before the time had expired to redeem the property the plaintiff was told by the defendant * * * that he would not be pushed,' that the statutory time to redeem would not be insisted upon; and that the plaintiff believed and relied upon such assurance.
