1. ““The provision that any defendant whose lands or tenements shall be sold may redeem the same was not intended to make actual ownership the test of the right of redemption. It was simply intended, where lands were levied upon and sold as the property of some one or more of the defendants, to confine the right to them, excluding other defendants or strangers, so that the sheriff, when tendered money for redemption, could immediately ascertain, by reference to his own records, whether the party offering the money was so related to the sale as to authorize him to effect the redemption.””
